Response Control And Seismic Isolation of Buildings

This state of the art report from an international task group (TG44) of CIB, the International Council of Building Research Organisations, presents a highly authoritative guide to the application of innovative technologies on response control and seismic isolation of buildings to practice worldwide. Many countries and cities are located in earthquake-prone areas making effective seismic design a major issue in structural engineering. Reassuringly, structural response control and seismic isolation have advanced remarkably in recent years following numerous studies internationally. Several major conferences have been held and reports have been written but little has been issued on the application of the technologies to good structural engineering practice. Plugging that gap, Response Control and Seismic Isolation of Buildings presents researchers in structural engineering (dynamics) and construction management with up-to-date applications of the latest technologies.Higashino, Masahiko is the author of 'Response Control And Seismic Isolation of Buildings ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780415366236 and ISBN 0415366232.
