Earthquake Engineering for Structural Design (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Developments in earthquake engineering have focused on the capacity and response of structures, but they often overlook the importance of seismological knowledge to earthquake-proofing design. Reflecting the importance of appreciating the nature of a possible earthquake, this volume explores the concept of seismic design- the bringing together of earthquake engineering and engineering seismology. It focuses on the seismological aspects of design, including the analysis of various types of earthquakes, and their effects on different structures. Covering the basis and basics of the major international codes, this is the essential guide for professionals working on structures in earthquake zones around the world.
