Earthquake Engineering: Theory and Implementation, Second Edition

Earthquake Engineering: Theory and Implementation is divided into three parts, each with a specific focus on earthquake related structures. Coverage includes the nature of earthquakes and their dynamic effects on structures, as well as the behavior of structures under seismic excitations, the design aspects of earthquake-resistant structures (both buildings and bridges) within the scope of seismic provisions of the latest modern and popular codes in their areas such as IBC, ACI, AISC, and AASHTO, and special topics pertinent to the safety of structures under seismic excitations such as geotechnical aspects, foundations, synthetic earthquakes, and seismic isolation.

Written by Dr. Nazzal Armouti, this textbook is a result of a quarter century of experience of the author in the field of Civil Engineering and reflects the state of the art in Earthquake Engineering in its modern form. The book's discussion of theoretical as well as practical sides of the subjects will benefit graduate and advanced undergraduate level students. The text is supplemented by illustrations and examples that make it easy to follow the concepts and better comprehend earthquake effects on structures.
