Seismic Risk Analysis of Nuclear Power Plants, by Wei-Chau Xie, Shun-Hao Ni, Wei Liu, and Wei Jiang. This book offers a systematic and comprehensive introduction to seismic risk analysis of nuclear power plants, with a balance between theory and applications, and includes the latest advances in research. Various aspects of seismic risk analysis—from seismic hazard, demand, and fragility analyses to seismic risk quantification—are discussed, with a detailed step-by-step analysis of specific engineering examples. A wide range of topics essential for understanding and performing seismic risk analysis are presented, including engineering seismology, probability theory and random processes, digital signal processing, structural dynamics, random vibration, and engineering risk and reliability. Suitable as a graduate-level textbook, for self-study, or as a reference book, Seismic Risk Analysis of Nuclear Power Plants addresses the needs of graduate students in engineering, practicing engineers in industry, and regulators in government agencies.
