Introduction -- Characteristics of earthquakes -- Linear elastic dynamic analysis -- Nonlinear and inelastic dynamic analysis -- Behavior of structures under seismic excitation -- Design of earthquake-resistant building (IBC) -- Seismic-Provisions of reinforced concrete structures (ACI 318) -- Introduction to AISC seismic provisions for structural steel buildings -- Design of earthquake-resistant bridges (AASHTO Code) -- Geotechnical aspects and foundations -- Synthetic earthquakes -- Seismic isolation
Fully updated coverage of earthquake-resistant engineering techniques, regulations, and codesThis thoroughly revised resource offers cost-effective earthquake engineering methods and practical instruction on underlying structural dynamics concepts. Earthquake Engineering, Third Edition, teaches how to analyze the behavior of structures under seismic excitation and features up-to-date details on the design and construction of earthquake-resistant steel and reinforced concrete buildings, bridges, and isolated systems. All applicable requirements are fully explained--including the 2015 International Building Code and the latest ACI, AISC, and AASHTO codes and regulations.
