Seismic Design of Buildings to Eurocode 8

Seismic Design of Buildings to Eurocode 8

Product Description As the new Eurocode 8 on the Design of Structures Stru ctures for Earthquake Resistance has acquired the status of a full Euronorm, pract ical information information and training t raining has become urgently needed, especially in relation to the underlying principles of seismic behaviour  and the design of building structures. struct ures. This book covers seismic design in a clear but brief  manner and links the principles to the t he code, illustrated with design examples. Concrete and steel buildings, and their foundations, are given special emphasis but the book is also applicable to many other ot her types of structure and sub-structure.The book stems from  practical short courses on seismic design, run jointly by the Society for Earthquake and Civil Engineering Dynamics (SECED) and Imperial Co llege London. Its contributors are either senior academics with significant consulting experience, o r leading practitioners, which gives the book a strong industry emphasis. It will be of value to a wide range of   practising civil and structural engineers at different stages of their careers; and shou ld also be of direct use to academics preparing courses and worked examples o n seismic design to EC8, to advanced undergraduate students, and to Masters level students in Earthquake, Structural or Geotechnical Engineering. download
