Building Practices for Disaster Mitigation
The National workshop on building practices for disaster mitigation was concerned with earthquakes, extreme winds, and similar dynamic hazards. These proceedings present recommendations derived at the workshop and addressed to policy makers in government and industry, as well as practitioners in engineering, architecture, land use planning, and the earth and meteorological sciences. The recommendations evaluate current building practices, define opportunities for improving current practice from documented research findings, and recommend research to fill gaps in knowledge. The objectives include avoidance of human suffering, reduction of property loss, and maintenance of vital function in buildings under conditions threatening disaster. Fifteen review articles were prepared by experts in the professions and research disciplines to define the state of the art in disaster mitigation and to guide discussions at the workshop; the articles are included in the proceedings.
