Summary: In order to contribute to the solution of the described issue the Institute of Structural Engineering, Earthquake Engineering and Construction IT organized an International Workshop on Protection of Build Environment Against Earthquakes which took place on August 27 and 28, 2010, in Ljubljana, Slovenia. This book is the result of the aforementioned event and the work of additional researchers that were invited to contribute chapters. The book is in organized in two parts, the first part contains six chapters addressing the seismic hazard, earthquake models and ground motions, while the second part consists of twelve chapters and addresses seismic performance assessment methods, risk analysis and design procedures of structures.
