This book is an ideal textbook for earthquake and structural engineering, readers will find that it is generic , focusing on fundamental problems rather than regional coverage. The book includes problems to be used as homework assignment together with some solved examples. The accompanying CD/website (TBC) will contain some simple programs for strong-motion and spectra as well as structural response analysis.
Presents new and advanced concepts in a simple and modern fashion.
Provides a consistent approach to the subject matter across chapters
Focuses on underlying principles and concepts essential to earthquake engineering methodologies under development today.
Discussions include characterization of seismic input, evaluation of response, assessment of performance, and retrofit and rehabilitation.
