Covers seismic risk and earthquake characteristics -- Regional seismicity -- Site characterization -- Design earthquakes -- Earthquake-resistant design philosophy -- Seismic response of soils and structures -- Concrete structures -- Masonry structures -- Steel structures -- Timber structures -- Services and equipment -- Architectural detailing for earthquake resistance -- Appendices.
Presents a comprehensive treatment of earthquake-resistant design for engineers and architects, covering seismic risk, ground motion, site characteristics, design earthquakes, structural response, and design philosophy. The second edition incorporates significant revisions reflecting advances in seismotechnics, hazard analysis, base isolation, and geotechnical engineering, with practical guidance on the earthquake-resistant design of concrete, masonry, steel, and timber structures, as well as architectural detailing, services, and equipment. Drawing on international examples and supported by extensive references, the book serves as a valuable resource for practicing engineers, architects, researchers, and students engaged in seismic design and structural safety.
