Seismic Design of Concrete Buildings to Eurocode 8

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 sep 2017
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.

Recenzii

"This new book is a perfect example of a self-contained document on seismic design that can be used as a textbook for graduate students entering the field, as well as by high level practitioners willing to go deeper into detailed explanations related to the large amount of knowledge that exists behind Eurocode 8.... The authors of the book are scientists of international renown."
— Paolo Emilio Pinto, University of Rome - La Sapienza

"The book is "problem solving" minded. It captures the attention of readers who are designers by raising practical questions on real case problems; this and helps to provide a comprehensive understanding of seismic design issues."
— Prof. Hon. André Plumier, University of Liege, Belgium

"The materials are easy to follow, clear and informative. The examples provided are realistic and challenging but illustrate well the concepts exposed. It seems like a perfect companion to Eurocode8 and achieves its aim of catering to an audience of graduate engineers, MSc students and practitioners."
— Professor Tiziana Rossetto, University College London

"… will be a great help to anyone who wishes to apply EC8 in a responsible and consistent way. It will thus be of great interest to practitioners and consultants. … contains a significant number of well thought and interesting examples and problems, that allow a thorough understanding."
— Gian Michele Calvi, IUSS, Pavia and Eucentre Foundation, Pavia, Italy

"The reader can understand the basic methods of earthquake engineering, even beyond the simple explanation of Eurocode 8. Above all, many examples are given, which allows the reader to illustrate and apply the provisions. Most of these examples are discussed, but some are left to the thoughts of the reader, a good way for him to understand."
— Philippe Bisch, EGIS Industries, Ecole des Ponts ParisTech




Descriere

Seismic design of concrete buildings needs to be performed to a strong and recognized standard. Eurocode 8, the first European Standard for seismic design, is having an impact on seismic design standards in countries within and outside Europe. This book contains a comprehensive case study of the design of a six-story building. This study includes a conceptual design, analysis and detailed design of a realistic building with six stories above grade and two basements, as well as a complete structural system of walls and frames.
