Preface
The need for integrated books on earthquake engineering and management is increasing, particularly having in mind the rising trend of damage and loss of human lives due to earthquakes. The increase of the seismic risk is not because of the increase of the number of occurred earthquakes since their frequency does not change statistically, but it is rather due to the growing population in earthquake prone areas. The book contains the invited papers to be presented at the 14th European Conference on Earthquake Engineering (14ECEE) to be held in Ohrid, R. Macedonia, during 30th August – 3rd September, 2010. This event takes place every 4 years and represents the most important forum for exchange of results from the latest investigations carried out in the field of earthquake engineering between two conferences. The present book containing the papers of the keynote and theme lecturers is published in addition to the Book of Abstracts and the DVD disc containing all the papers submitted to the Conference. The unique character of this book is that the titles of the chapters are selected to enable a complete insight into the state-of-the-art in the field of earthquake engineering. The papers related to engineering seismology and seismic risk management, in addition to
