Dear Customer,
Dear Website Visitor,
 

If you are involved in seismic design of buildings and you get lost in the various theories and assumptions necessary to understand Eurocode 8 and the ACI 318, then this book is a MUST. 

In 848 pages you get to know:

• structural dynamics
• design principles
• configuration of earthquake resistance for reinforced concrete structures
• structural analysis
• capacity design
• RC Frames-RC walls-foundations and seismic resistance
• pathology and emergency post earthquake damage inspection
• retrofitting and repair
• risk management
• and much more... 

Many examples are worked out, including designs of structures with Scia Engineer & ECtools.

This is the most comprehensive and accessible book to the theme of seismicity and structures and I highly recommend it.
