Learn to design code-compliant, earthquake-resistant structures with this
practical guide
Earthquake Engineering demonstrates how to design structural members and joints
for seismic resistance. The text guides readers through dozens of structural
designs, documenting how to perform each step, make the necessary calculations,
and adhere to relevant design codes. Most other texts on seismic design focus on
theory and the construction of idealized structures; this text is a radical
departure, presenting actual tested design methodologies that protect structures
from the devastation of earthquakes.
All the design methods presented by the author comply with the current U.S.
building codes. References to these codes are provided throughout the text,
helping readers understand how they are integrated into an overall structural
design.
Everything readers need to create sound designs, from analysis to design
implementation, is provided, including:
* Dozens of worked problems throughout the text
* Complete reference chapters dedicated to matrices, differential equations, and
numerical analysis
* Latest results of ongoing seismic research, including how these studies are
likely to influence future design projects
* The latest 2006 IBC, highlighting significant variations from the 2000 and
2003 editions of the code
* Detailed coverage of seismic design for steel moment-resisting frame
structures (SMRF), as well as braced-frame steel, concrete, masonry, and
wood-framed structures
This text, with its many worked problems, is ideal for upper-level
undergraduates and graduate students. Now that the seismic engineering
provisions of the IBC Code apply to the entire United States, this text should
also guide practicing engineers not yet exposed to seismic design in designing
code-compliant, earthquake-resistant structures.
