An earthquake is a powerful surface acoustic wave (SAW) generated by a seismic event, such as a volcano or motion of the Earth's layers, that propagates on the

Earthquake-resistant Design of Structures 2e is designed for undergraduate students of civil engineering.

Throughout the past few years, there has been extensive research done on structural design in terms of optimization methods or problem formulation. But, much of

This book focuses on the seismic design of Structures, Piping Systems and Components (SSC). It explains the basic mechanisms of earthquakes, generation of desig

A state-of-the-art summary of recent developments in the behaviour, analysis and design of seismic resistant steel frames. Much more than a simple background vo
