Earthquakes and tsunamis are devastating geohazards with significant societal impacts. Most recent occurrences have shown that their impact on the stability of nations-societies and the world geopolitics is immense, potentially triggering a tipping point for a major downturn in the global economy. This publication presents the most current information on the causes and effects of some of the modern and historical earthquake-tsunami events, and effective practices of risk assessment-disaster management, implemented by various governments, international organizations and intergovernmental agencies.--

Earthquakes - From Tectonics to Buildings is a compilation of eight chapters that explain tectonics and seismicity. The book presents state-of-the-art techniques for calculating ground motion amplification due to sediments above the engineering bedrock employing strong-motion recordings and microtremor data. It also explains liquefaction phenomena through interpretive structural modeling techniques. Finally, the book presents pile foundations' seismic behavior on liquefiable soils and remedial countermeasures against earthquake attacks.
