Earthquake Resistant Engineering Structures VI




Preface

This book contains selected papers presented at the 6

International Conference on

Earthquake Resistant Engineering Structures (ERES) which took place in Bologna,

Italy in 2007. This meeting is one of the successful series of conferences organised

by the Wessex Institute of Technology (WIT). The series started in Thessaloniki

(l996), followed by Catania (1999), Malaga (2001), Ancona (2003) and Skiathos (2005).th

The meeting provides a forum for the discussion of the latest developments in

innovative design and construction of new earthquake resistant structures as well

as the retrofitting of existing buildings. The success of the ERES Conference is

closely linked to the innovation and quality of the presentations. It continues to

attract promising young researchers as well as familiar names in the field of earthquake

engineering. This combination is the main reason why the ERES meetings continue

to bring to the attention of the international scientific community original high

quality papers.
