This is the table of contents for a book I wrote about the seismic rehabilitation of existing buildings.

There are real examples from the beginning of the presentation to project details.

I'm looking for feedback about the book. What do you think of this book's contents?

SEISMIC REHABILITATION PROCESS; Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers, and are a result of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, magma movement, large landslides and large man-made explosions that give out low-frequency acoustic energy. Many other natural and anthropogenic sources create low-amplitude waves commonly referred to as ambient vibrations.

Rehabilitation is a means of restoring structures to functional stage, as a result of deformation or inadequate strength for structural purpose.

Thanks for sharing your efforts, Reza. I suggest you consider replacing "rehabilitation" with "retrofit".

Hi Reza,
I can't give "feedback about the book" based on only the table of contents.
However, the table of contents seems comprehensive enough. But what's covered under each heading remains unknown to us. For example have energy-absorption considerations been covered in enough depth? Have decreased capacity for further energy-absorption due to potential hairline cracks been thoroughly covered? This might be detrimental even if the structure looks "rehabilitated."
