Reinforced concrete (R/C) is one of the main building materials
used worldwide, and an understanding of its structural performance
under gravity and seismic loads, albeit complex, is crucial for the
design of cost effective and safe buildings. Concrete Buildings in
Seismic Regions comprehensively covers of all the analysis and
design issues related to the design of reinforced concrete
buildings under seismic action. It is suitable as a reference to
the structural engineer dealing with specific problems during the
design process and also for undergraduate and graduate structural,
concrete and earthquake engineering courses. This revised edition
provides new and significantly developed coverage of seismic
isolation and passive devices, and coverage of recent code
modifications as well as notes on future developments of standards.
It retains an overview of structural dynamics, the analysis and
design of new R/C buildings in seismic regions, post-earthquake
damage evaluation, pre-earthquake assessment of buildings and
retrofitting procedures, and several numerical examples. The book
outlines appropriate structural systems for many types of
buildings, explores recent developments, and covers the last two
decades of analysis, design, and earthquake engineering. It
specifically addresses seismic demand issues and the basic issues
of structural dynamics, considers the "capacity" of structural
systems to withstand seismic effects in terms of strength and
deformation, and highlights the assessment of existing R/C
buildings under seismic action. All of the material has been
developed to fit a modern seismic code and offers in-depth
knowledge of the background upon which the code rules are based. It
complies with European Codes of Practice for R/C buildings in
seismic regions, and includes references to current American
Standards for seismic design.
