Until now, information on the dynamic loading of structures has been widely scattered. No other book has examined the different types of loading in a comprehensive and systematic manner, and looked at their signficance in the design process. The book begins with a survey of the probabilistic background to all forms of loads, which is particularly important to dynamic loads, and then looks at the main types in turn: wind, earthquake, wave, blast and impact loading. The relevant code provisions (Eurocode and UBC American) are detailed and a number of examples are used to illustrate the principles. A final section covers the analysis for dynamic loading, drawing out the concepts underlying the treatment of all dynamic loads, and the corresponding modelling techniques. Throughout there is a focus on the modelling of structures, rather than on classical structural dynamics. eBook available with sample pages: 0203301951
This book introduces practising engineers and post-graduate
students to modern approaches to seismic design, with a particular
focus on reinforced concrete structures, earthquake resistant
design of new buildings and assessment, repair and strengthening of
existing buildings. Fundamentals of engineering seismlogy are
covered in the first part, including structural dynamics,
calculation of structural response, energy considerations,
structural configuration, static and dynamic analysis of structures
under seismic actions, represented by equivalent lateral loads, or
by elastic and inelastic spectra including the Eurocode 8 spectrum.
The second part explains the earthquake-related properties of
reinforced concrete materials, and seismic behaviour of structural
members. Eurocode 8 design provisions for each type of member are
presented in detail, as well as a fully worked design application.
It concludes with a discussion of methods for assessing seismic
performance of structures, and several case studies involving
concrete buildings with frames and structural walls with and
without masonry infill panels. Seismic pathology of concrete
structures, assessment of seismic capacity of exist
