This volume includes papers from the fourth symposium workshop, held jointly between the US and Taiwan to discuss research and its application to multiple hazard mitigation. The workshop, "Urban Disaster Mitigation, The Role of Engineering and Technology", discussed lessons learned from recent natural disasters; assessed results of Taiwan's multiple hazards research programme and potential application to the US; and proposed further studies on subjects of mutual concern. Topics include recent scientific findings obtained in various natural hazard areas and assessment of actual and potential damage from earthquakes, floods and landslides. Of particular importance are measures that can be taken to mitigate these hazards ranging from use of new algorithms for structural engineering to warning systems for a given region. At a time when natural disasters are widespread, engineers play a key role. Construction methods and building codes are changing; current knowledge shapes the direction of these changes. The research results presented in these proceedings aim to benefit both the academic and practising communities around the world, strengthening the relationship between these two important parties. This book is suitable for professors, graduate students and practising engineers in the fields of structural, hydraulic and earthquake engineering; seismology and soil and rock foundation engineering. It is also intended for governmental policy-makers, building - code developers, architects and city planners.
