Abstract (croatian)

The lecture will give a concise overview of development of the disciplines of engineering seismology (and to a lesser extent, also earthquake engineering) in Croatia from a perspective of a seismologist. A significant part of the talk is dedicated to the role that Andrija Mohorovičić played in establishing the framework of research related to the seismic safety of buildings, not just in Croatia – his analyses, ideas, and suggestions on the ways to deal with the threats earthquakes pose to our buildings, although over 110 years old, still sound modern and fresh, and were in several aspects truly visionary.
