Earthquake Engineering (Hardcover)

This work consists of two parts: engineering seismology and earthquake-resistant design. Special attention is placed on bridging the gap between these two disciplines. The fundamentals of seismology, earthquake engineering and random processes are introduced. This is followed by a chapter describing the earthquake intensity, ground motions, and its damage effects. In ensuing chapters concerning the earthquake-resistant design, both fundamental theories and new research problems and future directions are presented, including methods for foundation design and structural experiments. Finally, in the last chapter on engineering applications, seismic risk and its damaging effects, seismic zonation and features of earthquake-resistant design of different types of structures and design standards are introduced.
