CONTENIDO: Earthquake Design Practice for Buildings covers the main principles and design rules that are used to design buildings to resist the effect of earthquakes. It offers comprehensive, practical and easy to read advice on the technical issues that have to be considered in the seismic design of buildings. This indispensable guide outlines the principles of structural dynamics used to establish how a building and its foundations respond to strong ground shaking. Extensive advice is provided on the choice and design of structural forms and materials which produce practical, affordable and attractive buildings resilient to earthquakes.
Now in its fourth edition and written by two experienced seismic engineers, this book has been updated to take into account the many developments in seismic design practice in recent years, including
Containing information about the updated international seismic standards, Earthquake Design Practice for Buildings is directed at practising engineers and advanced-level students seeking a broad survey of the latest developments in seismic engineering. It also appeals to those who have a sound general knowledge of structural design but who may be unfamiliar with the problems of providing earthquake resistance.
Book Reviews
This book succeeds in achieving the difficult balance of being relatively straightforward to follow for an engineer with limited background in the subject, whilst being very informative and engaging for more experienced readers who want to update their knowledge and skills in seismic design. Although the main focus of the book is on the behaviour, design and assessment of buildings, it also raises awareness of the wider economic and societal considerations related to earthquake resilience. The book meets the needs of a wide international audience, as there is emphasis on explaining the underlying fundamental concepts without reliance on a specific code of practice. Nonetheless, the basis and procedures of a number of international design standards are presented, discussed and compared, including those from the European, North American, Indian and Chinese seismic codes.
