Seismic Design

Displacement-Based Seismic Design of Structures is a book primarily directed towards practicing structural designers who are interested in applying performance-based concepts to seismic design.

Displacement-Based Seismic Design of Structures is a book primarily directed towards practicing structural designers who are interested in applying performance-based concepts to seismic design. Since much of the material presented in the book has not been published elsewhere, it will also be of considerable interest to researchers, and to graduate and upper-level undergraduate students of earthquake engineering who wish to develop a deeper understanding of how design can be used to control seismic response.

Provides civil PE exam candidates, as well as engineers unfamiliar with the subject, a fighting chance to learn and understand basic seismic principles and how the codes impose seismic considerations into engineered design. Softcover. DLC: Earthquake resistant design–Examinations Study guides.
