Book synopsis

Although the field of Earthquake Engineering started in the late 1920?s and early 1930?s in Japan and California, it has now become a well-recognized discipline in all seismically active areas of the world. Designed to educate new generations of earthquake engineers, as well as introduce new engineering and scientific concepts to practicing structural engineers and architects, this book combines information from a variety of sources such as structural dynamics, structural analysis, and seismology, explaining in plain language the part they play in designing earthquake resistant structures. Unique to this book is a detail discussion of topics such as: earthquake propagation, influence of local site conditions, structural response, soil-structure interaction, and seismic response of nonstructural elements. Topics not usually covered in sufficient detail in other books but are important for understanding seismic code provisions.
