Synopsis
This is arguably the most comprehensive book on the subject of architectural-structural design decisions that influence the seismic performance of buildings. It explores the intersection between the architecture and the structural design through the lens of earthquake engineering. The main aim of this unique book, written by renowned engineer M.Llunji, is to explain in the simplest terms, the architecture and structure of earthquake-resistant buildings, using many practical examples and case studies to demonstrate the fact that structures and buildings react to earthquake forces mainly according to their form, configuration and material. The book will be invaluable for practicing engineers, architects, students and researches. .More than 500 illustrations/photographs and numerous case studies. Seismic Architecture covers: Earthquake effects on structures Seismic force resisting systems Advanced systems for seismic protection Architectural/structural configuration and its influence on seismic response Contemporary architecture in seismic regions Seismic response of nonstructural elements Seismic retrofit and rehabilitation of existing buildings Seismic architecture

Hardcover. First Edition. 25 x 19cm. Hardcover, 494pp. Pictorial boards - no dustjacket as issued. Inscribed by the author on the pre-title page to British-Sri Lankan designer and engineer Cecil Balmond. First edition. Described as being the most comprehensive book on the subject of architectural-structural design decisions that influence the seismic performance of buildings. The richly-illustrated book explores the intersection of architecture and structural design through the lens of earthquake-proof engineering. From the publisher "the main aim of this unique book is to explain in the simplest terms the architecture and structure of earthquake-resistant buildings using many practical examples and case studies to demonstrate the fact that structures and buildings react to earthquake forces mainly according to their form, configuration and material. The book will be invaluable for practising engineers, architects, students and researches". The book covers both the earthquake-resistant design of new buildings and the retrofitting and rehabilitation of existing older buildings. Slight bumping to lower edges of boards, otherwise internally tight and sound. Good condition. N° de réf. du vendeur 29305
