Many important advances in designing earthquake-resistant
structures have occurred over the last several years. Civil
engineers need an authoritative source of information that reflects
the issues that are unique to the field. Comprising chapters
selected from the second edition of the best-selling Handbook of
Structural Engineering, Earthquake Engineering for Structural
Design provides a tightly focused, concise, and valuable guide to
the theoretical, practical, and computational aspects of earthquake
engineering. In chapters contributed by renowned experts from
around the world, this book supplies the latest concepts, design
methodologies, and analytical techniques for mitigating the effects
of seismic damage to structures. It discusses the fundamentals of
earthquake engineering, explaining the causes of earthquakes and
faulting, measurement of earthquakes, and characterization of
seismicity. Subsequent chapters discuss the various types of
earthquake damage to structures including recent improvements in
earthquake performance, seismic design of buildings and bridges
considering various types of construction materials, and
performance-based seismic design and evaluation of building
structures. The book introduces probabilistic approaches to
performance-based methodologies as well as an application example
of performance-based design. Earthquake Engineering for Structural
Design offers practical tools gathered together in a convenient
reference for immediate implementation. It is an ideal resource for
civil and structural engineers specializing in earthquake
engineering.
