Vulnerability of structures from the aspect of seismic safety and risk in architectonic designing [PDF]
Facta Universitatis. Series: Architecture and Civil Engineering, 2013 It is natural the people should be most interested in the behavior of buildings during earthquakes, as they spend the most of their time in them. The times when the buildings were designed and constructed for unknown customers have passed.
