Earthquake Engineering for Structural Design

Zusatztext "Any structural engineer who must cope with seismic design will find this book a valuable resource. ?The book is well written and each chapter contains an extensive list of references. The book would be appropriate as a resource in graduate-level structural design courses and for practicing structural engineers." -CHOICE! Vol. 43 No. 10! June 2006 Informationen zum Autor W.F. Chen, E.M. Lui Klappentext Many important advances in designing earthquake-resistant structures have occurred over the last several years. Civil engineers need an authoritative source of information that reflects the issues that are unique to the field. Comprising chapters selected from the second edition of the best-selling Handbook of Structural Engineering, this book provides a tightly focused, economical guide to the theoretical, practical, and computational aspects of earthquake engineering. It discusses the fundamentals of earthquake engineering, the various types of earthquake damage to structures, seismic design of buildings and bridges, and performance-based seismic design and evaluation of building structures.
