Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete and Masonry Buildings. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete and Masonry Buildings

Emphasizes actual structural design, not analysis, of multistory buildings for seismic resistance. Strong emphasis is placed on specific detailing requirements for construction. Fundamental design principles are presented to create buildings that respond to a wide range of potential seismic forces, which are illustrated by numerous detailed examples. The discussion includes the design of reinforced concrete ductile frames, structural walls, dual systems, reinforced masonry structures, buildings with restricted ductility and foundation walls. In addition to the examples, full design calculations are given for three prototype structures.

Thomas Paulay OBE OoM was a Hungarian-New Zealand earthquake engineer.

Michael John Nigel Priestley ONZM was a New Zealand earthquake engineer. He made significant contributions to the design and retrofit of concrete structures, and developed the first displacement-based method of seismic design.
