Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
Release Date: 2007
Designed to serve as a textbook for students pursuing a B Tech or BE program in civil engineering, Earthquake-resistant Design of Structures aims to explain the different sources of damage that can be triggered by an earthquake and the conceptual method of earthquake-resistant design. The bookwould also be useful for postgraduate students of civil engineering, practising engineers, and architects. The various topics in the book are presented in a systematic manner to ease understanding of concepts. After an introduction to earthquakes and ground motion, the easy-to-understand textbookprovides detailed chapters on structures and soil in terms of their seismic response. The need for placing importance on conceptual design is covered in detail by enumerating factors that cause damage and offering guidelines for efficient seismic-resistant design. The book emphasizes structuraldamage induced by vibration on timber, masonry, concrete, and steel buildings.

Publisher: PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.
Release Date: 2006-01-01
This comprehensive and well-organized book presents the concepts and principles of earthquake resistant design of structures in an easy-to-read style. The use of these principles helps in the implementation of seismic design practice. The book adopts a step-by-step approach, starting from the fundamentals of structural dynamics to application of seismic codes in analysis and design of structures. The text also focusses on seismic evaluation and retrofitting of reinforced concrete and masonry buildings. The text has been enriched with a large number of diagrams and solved problems to reinforce the understanding of the concepts. Intended mainly as a text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of civil engineering, this text would also be of considerable benefit to practising engineers, architects, field engineers and teachers in the field of earthquake resistant design of structures.
Wind and Earthquake Resistant Buildings
Developed as a resource for practicing engineers, while simultaneously serving as a text in a formal classroom setting, Wind and Earthquake Resistant Buildings provides a fundmental understanding of the behavior of steel, concrete, and composite building structures. The text format follows, in a logical manner, the typical process of designing a bu
