Inhaltsangabe

Developments in Earthquake Engineering have focussed on the capacity and response of structures. They often overlook the importance of seismological knowledge to earthquake-proofing of design. It is not enough only to understand the anatomy of the structure, you must also appreciate the nature of the likely earthquake.

Seismic design, as detailed in this book, is the bringing together of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology. It focuses on the seismological aspects of design – analyzing various types of earthquake and how they affect structures differently. Understanding the distinction between these earthquake types and their different impacts on buildings can make the difference between whether a building stands or falls, or at least to how much it costs to repair.

Covering the basis and basics of the major international codes, this is the essential guide for professionals working on structures in earthquake zones around the world.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Developments in earthquake engineering have focused on the capacity and response of structures, but they often overlook the importance of seismological knowledge to earthquake-proofing design. Reflecting the importance of appreciating the nature of a possible earthquake, this volume explores the concept of seismic design - the bringing together of earthquake engineering and engineering seismology. It focuses on the seismological aspects of design, including the analysis of various types of earthquakes, and their effects on different structures. Covering the basis and basics of the major international codes, this is the essential guide for professionals working on structures in earthquake zones around the world.
