Earthquake Resistant Design and Risk Reduction 2e
Autor D Dowricken Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 iul 2009
New topics include the creation of low-damage structures and the spatial distribution of ground shaking near large fault ruptures. Sections on guidance for developing countries, response of buildings to differential settlement in liquefaction, performance-based and displacement-based design and the architectural aspects of earthquake resistant design are heavily revised.
This book:
- Outlines individual national weaknesses that contribute to earthquake risk to people and property
- Calculates the seismic response of soils and structures, using the structural continuum "Subsoil - Substructure - Superstructure - Non-structure"
- Evaluates the effectiveness of given design and construction procedures for reducing casualties and financial losses
- Provides guidance on the key issue of choice of structural form
- Presents earthquake resistant design methods for the main four structural materials - steel, concrete, reinforced masonry and timber - as well as for services equipment, plant and non-structural architectural components
- Contains a chapter devoted to problems involved in improving (retrofitting) the existing built environment
This book is an invaluable reference and guiding tool to practising civil and structural engineers and architects, researchers and postgraduate students in earthquake engineering and engineering seismology, local governments and risk management officials.

Descriere
Earthquake Resistant Design and Risk Reduction, 2 nd edition is based upon global research and development work over the last 50 years or more, and follows the author's series of three books Earthquake Resistant Design , 1st and 2 nd editions (1977 and 1987), and Earthquake Risk Reduction (2003).
