  • Abstract
    E&T considers some of the infrastructure deficiencies that the Chilean earthquake brought to light. When, in the early hours of 27 February the first reports emerged that a very powerful earthquake had struck Chile, seismologists, geologists, earth scientists and structural engineers all breathed a cautious sigh of relief. No matter how violent this latest tectonic movement might have been, Chile they knew wasn´t Haiti.
