- Abstract
- A comprehensive annual collection of abstracts and citations of current literature pertinent to the field of earthquake hazard mitigation is presented. The abstracts are obtained from 82 technical journals, and from the publications of academic, professional, and governmental institutions in 23 countries. The present volume contains more than 1,350 abstracts of technical papers, research reports, books, codes, and conference proceedings. Selections are organized under the following categories: (1) general topics and conference proceedings; (2) selected topics in seismology; (3) engineering seismology; (4) strong motion seismometry; (5) dynamics of soils, rocks and foundations; (6) dynamics of structures; (7) earthquake resistant design and construction and hazard reduction; (8) earthquake effects; and (9) earthquakes as natural disasters. Author, title, and subject indexes also are included.
