Softcover

ISBN 10: 0443290741 ISBN 13: 9780443290749

Publisher: Woodhead Publishing, 2024

Seismic Analysis and Design of Building Structures presents the latest advances and research developments in the seismic analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures. The first part of the book documents the response of structural members under various intensities of earthquakes, including experimental techniques and modeling methodologies. A comprehensive review of published documents is included to enable the reader to understand the current state-of-the-art in earthquake engineering. The second part of the book discusses practical aspects of building design, with an emphasis on collapse mechanisms, energy dissipation, retrofit approaches, and performance-based design.

This book will be an essential reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, as well as practitioners, government officers, and all of those who are interested in the seismic analysis and design of building structures.
