Description
John Wiley Earthquake-Resistant Design Of Building Structures by Dr Vinod Hosur
Earthquake-Resistant Design of Building Structures provides up-to-date advanced research in the seismic analysis and design. It is an excellent technical resource material for not only undergraduates but also graduate students in Civil and Structural Engineering as well as Practicing Engineers and Architects. It is a good reference material for research scholars. The book starts with a discussion on seismology, seismic measurements, seismic effects on structures, estimation of seismic demand on structures, covers the analysis and design of the structure for seismic resistance, load-resisting mechanisms, lateral load-resisting capacity of the structures.
Key Features:-
- Simple language, point-wise descriptions in easy steps.
- Four Case Studies from the recent past.
- Up-to-date discussions on advanced research in the seismic analysis have been provided.
- Emphasis is on clear understanding of the concepts through the interpretation of figures and tables.
- Wide variety of examples with complete and comprehensive solution and interpretation of the results
- An exhaustive Bibliography and Glossary of important terms have been provided.
