His research domains include the seismic vulnerability assessment of old buildings, the evaluation and mitigation of urban risks, and the structural safety assessment and retrofitting of ancient stone masonry buildings. He is currently a Researcher at the Institute for Sustainability and Innovation in Structural Engineering (ISISE) of the University of Minho, invited Assistant Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Coimbra, and Associate Editor of Conservar Patrim´onio,a journal indexed by SCOPUS and Web-of-Science and dedicated to heritage studies. Nuno Mendes received his PhD in in Civil Engineering from University of Minho (Portugal). His research interests include the inspection, diagnosis, non-destructive testing, dynamic tests, advanced numerical modeling (FEM and DEM), and strengthening and monitoring of masonry buildings. Currently, he is a Researcher at the Institute for Sustainability and Innovation in Structural Engineering (ISISE) of the University of Minho. He participated in several consultancy projects and research works on the seismic vulnerability of historic buildings, such as Qutb Minar (India), Canterbury Cathedral (United Kingdom), San Sebastian Church (Philippines), Municipal Theatre of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Loka-Hteik-Pan Temple (Myanmar), the Presidential Palace (Portugal), and Carmo Convent (Portugal). Rui Silva received PhD in Civil Engineering from University of Minho and KU Leuven. His research interests include the characterization, modeling, strengthening, and repair of earth constructions, as well as the development of sustainable building materials based on geopolymeric binders, and construction and demolition waste. He is also Principal Investigator of the project SafEarth, dedicated to the seismic protection of earthen built heritage. Currently, he is a Researcher at the Institute for Sustainability and Innovation in Structural Engineering (ISISE) of the University of Minho and member of the committee RILEM 275-TCE: Testing and characterization of earth-based building materials and elements. vii Preface to ”Reducing the Seismic Vulnerability of Existing Buildings: Assessment and Retrofit” The devastating seismic events occurring all over the world continue to alert the scientific, technical,andpoliticalcommunitiesoftheneedtoidentifyassetsatriskanddevelopmoreeffective andcost-efficientseismicriskmitigationstrategies. Significantadvancesinearthquakeengineering researchhavebeenachievedwiththeriseofnewtechnologiesandtechniques,withpotentialuses in risk assessment, management, and mitigation. Nevertheless, there is still much to be done, particularlywithregardtoexistingbuildings, mostofwhichhavebeenbuiltwithoutanti-seismic provisions. Thewidevarietyofconstructionandstructuralsystems, associatedwiththecomplex behavioroftheirmaterials(rawearth,timber,masonry,steel,andreinforcedconcrete),greatlylimit theapplicationofcurrentcodesandbuildingstandardstotheexistingbuildingstock. Totacklethis global issue, there is a fundamental need for developing multidisciplinary research that can lead tothedevelopmentofmoresophisticatedandreliablemethodsofanalysis,aswellastoimproved seismicretrofittingtechniquescompliantwithbuildingconservationprinciples. Thisbookintendstocontributetotheaforementionedgoalbystimulatingtheexchangeofideas andknowledgeontheassessmentandreductionoftheseismicvulnerabilityofexistingbuildings. Included are 10 high-quality contributions authored by international experts from Italy, Portugal, Morocco, Nepal, CzechRepublic, andSpain.
