Learn from the personal experience and insights of leading earthquake engineering specialists as they examine the lessons from disasters of the last 30 years and propose a path to earthquake safety worldwide


Why Do Buildings Collapse in Earthquakes?: Building for Safety in Seismic Areas delivers an insightful and comprehensive analysis of the key lessons taught by building failures during earthquakes around the world. The book uses empirical evidence to describe the successes of earthquake engineering and disaster preparedness, as well as the failures that may have had tragic consequences.


Readers will learn what makes buildings in earthquake zones vulnerable, what can be done to design, build and maintain those buildings to reduce or eliminate that vulnerability, and what can be done to protect building occupants. Those who are responsible for the lives and safety of building occupants and visitors?architects, designers, engineers, and building owners or managers?will learn how to provide adequate safety in earthquake zones. The text offers useful and accessible answers to anyone interested in natural disasters generally and those who have specific concerns about the impact of earthquakes on the built environment.

Good quality! Very fair price.
Color: White, Size: X-Large
Great quality!!! Good pricing as well. Normally buy LL Bean, these are half the price and will likely not shrink!!! Typically wear them under another sweater or shirt. Size fit good with exception of sleeves' which are at least 2 inches longer then most of my XL shirts...just rolled them over!!! Good look for sure!

Comfy Turtle Neck
Color: Light Blue, Size: Large
Very nice quality, soft and plush. Very tight turtle neck that holds its place without sagging. The sleeves are long enough to cover the wrist bone.

Well made and comfortable
Color: White, Size: Large
The turtleneck is well made and very comfortable. It's good looking too! I have a similar turtleneck (from an unknown maker - tag is missing) that I've owned for more than 40 years. It will likely outlast me!
