Disaster Resilient Cities: Concepts and Practical Examples de Yoshitsugu Hayashi

Disaster Resilient Cities: Concepts and Practical Examples

Autor Yoshitsugu Hayashi, Yasuhiro Suzuki, Shinji Sato, Kenichi Tsukahara
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mar 2016
Disaster Resilient Cities: Concepts and Practical Examples discusses natural disasters, their complexity, and the exploration of different ways of thinking regarding the resilience of structures. The book provides a blueprint for structural designers to better prepare structures for all types of natural hazards during the design stage.
Brief and readable, this book analyzes various examples of disaster damage from earthquakes, tsunamis, and floods, together with their causal mechanisms. Practical methods to plan and design structures based on their regions, cities, as well as the particular countermeasures are also included for study.


  • Proposes new methods and policies for enhancing structural resilience for key urban infrastructure
  • Includes examples of disaster damage as a result of earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, and their structural countermeasures
  • Presents case studies that cover specific mega disasters, such as the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami, Super Typhoon Hyan, and Bangkok flood
