Earthquake Design Practice for Buildings

This is a practical guide for practising structural engineers, including those with little or no knowledge of the subject, and also for advanced engineering students. It has been completely revised to account for the many developments since the first edition and discusses the provisions of recent seismic codes, particularly Eurocode 8. The scope includes buildings in concrete, steel, timber and masonry; site effects, soil liquefaction and foundation design. There are also chapters on seismic analysis, the retrofit of existing buildings, building contents and seismic isolation.Booth, E.
