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.
