Description:This book examines multi-hazard and threat adaptation issues from a construction sector perspective whilst also considering the non-structural elements of multi-hazard/threat adaptation. The content encompasses international contexts, natural hazards (i.e. hydro-meteorological and geological) and human-induced threats (i.e. terrorism and unregulated urban planning) and multi-disciplinary perspectives, therefore making the book a unique multi-facetted collection of how a broad range of risk reduction options can be mainstreamed into the construction decision making process. This text book will be essential reading for a wide range of undergraduate and post-graduate students (and potentially managers and practitioners) involved with the way buildings and infrastructure are planned, designed, built, managed and operated. The range of issues covered by this book not only demonstrate the trans-disciplinary nature of the subject but illustrates that non-structural as well as structural adaptations need to be considered to reduce the threat, and impact, of disasters and that lessons can be identified from a range of disciplines and socio-cultural contexts.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
