Natural Disasters: Risk Analysis, Management and Mitigation - Vol. 2 Select Proceedings of NDRAMM 2024

This book presents select proceedings of the International Conference on Natural Disaster: Risk Analysis, Management and Mitigation (NDRAMM 2024). It discusses recent challenges in disaster risk analysis and provides solutions to mitigate and minimize the damage caused by natural disasters. The book covers diverse topics including but not limited to seismic hazard analysis and its mitigation, tsunami-induced hazard, landslide and erosion-induced disaster mitigation, liquefaction mitigation, flood risk management, urban flood modelling and planning, early warning systems and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in natural hazards engineering. This book is a valuable resource for researchers and professionals interested in disaster-resilient construction and allied fields.
