Overview
Explore the principles and practices of earthquake engineering and earthquake-resistant design
This comprehensive guide lays out earthquake engineering concepts and shows, step by step, practical applications for the design and construction of seismic-resistant structures. The book helps further your knowledge about statics, the strength of materials, differential equations, and structural analysis, and shows how each skill relates to seismic design.
Fundamentals of Earthquake Resistant Design features solved examples practice problems to illustrate the topics covered and aid in learning. Readers will get a thorough overview of contemporary topics in earthquake engineering, including the design of structures with base isolation systems and supplemental energy dissipation devices. The book also includes clear discussions of building damage patterns, protective systems, and supplemental damping devices.
- Covers principles adopted by model building codes in defining and calculating earthquake loads
- Includes videos and PowerPoint slides to accompany, demonstrate, and explain key concepts
- Written by an expert in structural vibration and experimental structural dynamics
