Earthquakes are one of the most powerful and destructive forces of nature. They can cause widespread damage, loss of life, and economic hardship. Europe is a region that is particularly vulnerable to earthquakes, as it is located on the boundary between several major tectonic plates. In recent years, there have been several large earthquakes in Europe, including the 2016 Amatrice earthquake in Italy, the 2015 Nepal earthquake, and the 2011 Fukushima earthquake in Japan.

The book "Earthquake Engineering in Europe" provides a comprehensive overview of the latest developments and research in earthquake engineering in the European region. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the seismic hazard in Europe, earthquake strong motion, soil-structure interaction, liquefaction, and structural dynamics.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the seismic hazard in Europe. This includes a discussion of the different types of faults that can generate earthquakes in Europe, the distribution of seismicity in the region, and the methods used to assess seismic hazard.

The second part of the book covers earthquake strong motion. This includes a discussion of the characteristics of earthquake ground motions, the methods used to record and analyze these motions, and the effects of ground motions on structures.

The third part of the book covers soil-structure interaction, liquefaction, and structural dynamics. This includes a discussion of the different types of soil-structure interaction, the effects of soil-structure interaction on earthquake response, the liquefaction of soils, and the dynamic behavior of structures.

The book "Earthquake Engineering in Europe" is a valuable resource for earthquake engineers, structural engineers, and other professionals who are involved in the design and construction of earthquake-resistant structures. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest developments and research in earthquake engineering in the European region.
