This book focuses on the seismic design of building structures and
their foundations to Eurocode 8. It covers the principles of
seismic design in a clear but brief manner and then links these
concepts to the provisions of Eurocode 8. It addresses the
fundamental concepts related to seismic hazard, ground motion
models, basic dynamics, seismic analysis, siting considerations,
structural layout, and design philosophies, then leads to the
specifics of Eurocode 8. Code procedures are applied with the aid
of walk-through design examples which, where possible, deal with a
common case study in most chapters. As well as an update
throughout, this second edition incorporates three new and topical
chapters dedicated to specific seismic design aspects of timber
buildings and masonry structures, as well as base-isolation and
supplemental damping. There is renewed interest in the use of
sustainable timber buildings, and masonry structures still
represent a popular choice in many areas. Moreover, seismic
isolation and supplemental damping can offer low-damage solutions
which are being increasingly considered in practice. The book stems
primarily from practical short courses on seismic design which have
been run over a number of years and through the development
Eurocode 8. The contributors to this book are either specialist
academics with significant consulting experience in seismic design,
or leading practitioners who are actively engaged in large projects
in seismic areas. This experience has provided significant insight
into important areas in which guidance is required.
