Introduction to Earthquake Engineering (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book is intended primarily as a textbook for students studying structural engineering. It covers three main areas in the analysis and design of structural systems subjected to seismic loading: basic seismology, basic structural dynamics, and code-based calculations used to determine seismic loads from an equivalent static method and a dynamics-based method. It provides students with the skills to determine seismic effects on structural systems, and is unique in that it combines the fundamentals of structural dynamics with the latest code specifications. Each chapter contains electronic resources: image galleries, PowerPoint presentations, a solutions manual, etc.

Autorenporträt

Dr. Hector Estrada, P.E. is currently Professor of Civil Engineering at University of the Pacific (Pacific); where he also served as Chair of the Civil Engineering Department. Prior to joining Pacific, Professor Estrada was chair of the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering at Texas A&M University-Kingsville. Dr. Estrada has also had visiting research appointments at NASA, Texas Tech University, and the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center - Construction Engineering Research Laboratory. His teaching interests include structural engineering and mechanics, the design of concrete, steel, and timber structures, structural dynamics, and earthquake engineering. He has published on structural engineering and engineering education in various peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, and presented research work at various technical conferences. He has published a book on drafting and design of structural steel buildings, and several book chapters. He has served as reviewer for a number of journals, conferences, book publishers, and funding agencies. Professor Estrada received his B.S. (with honors), M.S., and Ph.D. all in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Dr. Luke Lee, Ph.D., P.E. is currently Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at University of the Pacific where he teaches courses in solid mechanics, structural dynamics and health monitoring, structural design, and engineering risk analysis. He has authored and co-authored numerous journal articles, conference papers, and book chapters in composite materials, structural health monitoring, service life estimation, and engineering pedagogy. Dr. Lee received his B.S. in Civil Engineering from University of California, Los Angeles, M.S. in Civil Engineering from University of California, Berkeley, and Ph.D. in Structural Engineering from University of California, San Diego.
