An Original Source of Expressions and Tools for the Design of
Concrete Elements with Eurocode Seismic design of concrete
buildings needs to be performed to a strong and recognized
standard. Eurocode 8 was introduced recently in the 30 countries
belonging to CEN, as part of the suite of Structural Eurocodes, and
it represents the first European Standard for seismic design. It is
also having an impact on seismic design standards in countries
outside Europe and will be applied there for the design of
important facilities. This book: Contains the fundamentals of
earthquakes and their effects at the ground level, as these are
affected by local soil conditions, with particular reference to EC8
rules Provides guidance for the conceptual design of concrete
buildings and their foundations for earthquake resistance Overviews
and exemplifies linear and nonlinear seismic analysis of concrete
buildings for design to EC8 and their modelling Presents the
application of the design verifications, member dimensioning and
detailing rules of EC8 for concrete buildings, including their
foundations Serves as a commentary of the parts of EC8 relevant to
concrete buildings and their foundations, supplementing them and
explaining their proper application Seismic Design of Concrete
Buildings to Eurocode 8 suits graduate or advanced undergraduate
students, instructors running courses on seismic design and
practicing engineers interested in the sound application of EC8 to
concrete buildings. Alongside simpler examples for analysis and
detailed design, it includes a comprehensive case study of the
conceptual design, analysis and detailed design of a realistic
building with six stories above grade and two basements, with a
complete structural system of walls and frames. Homework problems
are given at the end of some of the chapters.
The design of structures in general, and prestressed concrete
structures in particular, requires considerably more information
than is contained in building codes. A sound understanding of
structural behaviour at all stages of loading is essential. This
textbook presents a detailed description and explanation of the
behaviour of prestressed concrete members and structures, both at
service loads and at ultimate loads, and in doing so, provides a
comprehensive and up-to-date guide to structural design. Much of
the text is based on first principles and relies only on the
principles of mechanics and the properties of concrete and steel,
with numerous worked examples. However, where the design
requirements are code specific, this book refers to the provisions
of the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures (AS3600-2009)
and, where possible, the notation is the same as in AS3600-2009. A
parallel volume is written to Eurocode 2, the European Standard for
the Design of Concrete Structures. The text runs from an
introduction to the fundamentals to in-depth treatments of more
advanced topics in modern prestressed concrete structures. It suits
senior undergraduate and graduate students, and also practising
engineers who want a comprehensive guide to the design of
prestressed concrete structures. It retains the clear and concise
explanations and the easy-to-read style of the first edition, but
the content has been extensively reorganised and considerably
expanded and updated. New chapters cover design procedures,
actions, and loads; prestressing systems and construction
requirements; and connections and detailing. The topic of
serviceability is developed extensively throughout. The authors
have been researching and teaching the behaviour and design of
prestressed concrete structures for more than 35 years, and this
updated edition of the book reflects this wealth of experience. The
work has also gained much from Ian Gilbe.
