Behaviour of Steel Structures in Seismic Areas is a comprehensive
overview of recent developments in the field of seismic resistant
steel structures. It comprises a collection of papers presented at
the seventh International Specialty Conference STESSA 2012
(Santiago, Chile, 9-11 January 2012), and includes the
state-of-the-art in both theoretical and experimental research on
the behaviour of steel structures in seismic areas. The book is
organized in the following sections: - Performance-Based Design of
Structures; - Seismic, Wind and Exceptional Load; - Material
Behaviour; - Member Behaviour; - Connection Behaviour; - Global
Behaviour; - Analytical and Experimental Methods; - Mixed and
Composite Structures; - Passive and Active Control; - Strengthening
and Repairing; - Codification; - Design, Fabrication and Practice.
Behaviour of Steel Structures in Seismic Areas aims to close the
gap between the results of academic research, codification and
application on the one hand, and common practice on the other. This
book provides a complete framework of the most recent trends in the
field of steel structures in seismic areas, with particular
reference to the utilisation of multi-level performance based
design concepts, the analysis of factors influencing the steel
structure behaviour during strong ground motions, minimizing
earthquake damage, seismic retrofit, the collapse behaviour of
steel structures, recent developments in advanced large-scale
experimental techniques, and the utilization of large-scale seismic
testing facilities. The book is a valuable resource for engineers,
academia and Ph.D. students in Civil Engineering, Earthquake
Engineering, Structural Engineering, Steel Construction, Steel
Development, and Building Disaster Prevention.
