Description
The near-field earthquake which struck the Hanshin-Awaji area of Japan before dawn on January 17, 1995, in addition to snatching away
the lives of more than 6,000 people, inflicted horrendous damage on the region's infrastructure, including the transportation, communication
and lifeline supply network and, of course, on buildings, too. A year earlier, the San Fernando Valley area of California had been hit
by another near-field quake, the Northridge Earthquake, which dealt a similarly destructive blow to local infrastructures. Following
these two disasters, structural engineers and researchers around the world have been working vigorously to develop methods of design
for the kind of structure that is capable of withstanding not only the far-field tectonic earthquakes planned for hitherto, but also
the full impact of near-field earthquake.
Of the observed types of earthquake damage to steel structures, there are some whose causes
are well understood, but many others continue to present us with unresolved problems. To overcome these, it is now urgently necessary
for specialists to come together and exchange information.
The contents of this volume are selected from the Nagoya Colloquium proceedings
will become an important part of the world literature on structural stability and ductility, and will prove a driving force in the development
of future stability and ductility related research and design.
Audience
For engineers and researchers involved in steel structures.
