RESIDENTIAL SECURITY AS RELATED TO PERCEIVED AND ASSESSED EFFECTS TO STRONG GROUND MOTION RECORDINGS
A case study of the perceived effects of earthquakes and their relation to strong motion recordings, with regard to human security inside residential houses, is presented. The cases considered are the South Iceland Earthquakes on the 17th and 21st of June 2000. The highest recorded ground accelerati...
