Earthquakes: Isolation, energy dissipation and control of vibrations of structures for nuclear and industrial facilities and buildings. Overview of lectures and papers of a seminar organized jointly with the Italian Working Group on Seismic Isolation (GLIS) and held in Capri, Italy, 23-25 August 1993

This report summarizes the contributions to the seminar together with the main technical issues and conclusions. Particular attention is paid to contributions which provided new or updated information with respect to that given at the IAEA Specialists Meeting on Seismic Isolation Technology, held at San Jose (California, USA), 18-20 March 1992. Attention is also paid to the development and implementation of more recent but very promising innovative techniques for the reduction of seismic and other dynamic loads. 64 refs, 1 tab
