Title: | Empowering communities for non-structural seismic risk mitigation: the central role of communication | Journal: | Annals of Geophysics | Series/Report no.: | 3/64 (2021) | Publisher: | INGV | Issue Date: | 2021 | DOI: | 10.144/ag-8471 | URL: | https://www.annalsofgeophysics.eu/index.php/annals/article/view/8714 | Keywords: | Risk reduction risk communication non-structural elements |
Abstract: | This special issue of “Annals of Geophysics” concerns the dissemination of knowledge on the prevention of damage mainly due to non-structural elements during earthquakes and its practical application at houses, schools and offices by common citizens, companies and institutions. The seismic capacity of buildings and other civil engineering structures and infrastructures are object of regulations for design and construction, and in some cases also the design, fabrication and mounting of electrical and mechanical equipments. Consequently, even in strong earthquakes many collapses of buildings and infrastructures are avoided. However, with few exceptions, design procedures do not aim at avoiding seismic vibrations from being transferred to the structures, but enable the structures to resist to the effects of those vibrations |
