The 1940 Vrancea Earthquake. Issues, Insights and Lessons Learnt : Proceedings of the Symposium Commemorating 75 Years from November 10, 1940 Vrancea Earthquake Paperback / softback
Edited by Radu Vacareanu, Constantin Ionescu
Part of the Springer Natural Hazards series
Paperback / softback
Description
These proceedings include most of the available information on this major seismic event and its consequences.
With an estimated moment magnitude of 7.7 and a heavy toll in terms of human and economic losses, it ranks as the largest intermediate-depth earthquake in Europe in the twentieth century.
Nevertheless, because of the difficult conditions in the 1940s, the lessons learnt after the Vrancea earthquake were not extensively shared with the international scientific community and thus, this book fills a gap in the literature discussing the knowledge acquired after major disasters. Past experience together with current understanding of the 1940 Vrancea earthquake are presented along with the latest information on Romanian seismicity, seismic hazard and risk assessment, and seismic evaluation and rehabilitation of buildings and structures.
Moreover, it includes excerpts from Romanian post-disaster reports and textbooks concerning the earthquake.
