It serves as a valuable reference for structural engineers dealing with specific problems during the design process and is also suitable for undergraduate and graduate courses in structural, concrete, and earthquake engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis revised edition provides new and significantly developed coverage of seismic isolation and passive devices, along with recent code modifications and notes on future standards developments. It retains an overview of structural dynamics, the analysis and design of new R\/C buildings in seismic regions, post-earthquake damage evaluation, pre-earthquake assessment of buildings and retrofitting procedures, complete with several numerical examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book outlines appropriate structural systems for various types of buildings, explores recent developments, and covers the last two decades of analysis, design, and earthquake engineering. It specifically addresses seismic demand issues and the basic aspects of structural dynamics, considering the \"capacity\" of structural systems to withstand seismic effects in terms of strength and deformation. Additionally, it highlights the assessment of existing R\/C buildings under seismic action. All material has been developed to fit a modern seismic code, offering in-depth knowledge of the background upon which the code rules are based. The content complies with European Codes of Practice for R\/C buildings in seismic regions and includes references to current American Standards for seismic design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605258780908,"sku":"9781138106871","price":412.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781138106871-concrete-buildings-in-seismic-regions.jpg?v=1778129241"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/george-penelis.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
