This book compiles 4 keynote and 15 theme lectures from the 2nd European Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Seismology (2ECEES), held in Istanbul, Turkey, from August 24 to 29, 2014. Organized by the Turkish Earthquake Foundation and the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency, it is supported by the European Association for Earthquake Engineering and the European Seismological Commission. The nineteen chapters feature contributions from leading European researchers, covering a wide array of topics in earthquake engineering and interdisciplinary subjects like engineering seismology and seismic risk assessment. Key areas explored include geotechnical earthquake engineering, seismic performance of buildings, earthquake-resistant structures, innovative techniques, and risk management in seismic regions. Additionally, the book includes the First Professor Inge Lehmann Distinguished Award Lecture by Prof. Shamita Das, honoring Prof. Dr. Inge Lehmann. This work aims to showcase the latest advancements and practices in earthquake engineering and seismology, with insights from respected researchers on current developments and future research directions. It serves as a valuable reference for civil engineers, scientists, researchers, and students interested in earthquake hazard assessment and mitigation.
