Earthquake Risk : Analysis and Mitigation

This book, based on decades of hands on seismic risk assessment for organzations such as Continental Heller Corp, TY Lin, EQE (now ABS Consulting), FEMA, World Bank, and California's Office of Emergency Services, is the first to provide a comprehensive probabilistic risk analysis framework.

This framework will be suitable for estimating loss due to seismic activity, provide tools for evaluating various levels of risk, and guidance on minimizing and reducing risk.
