9789940979409: Seismic architecture : The architecture of earthquake resistant structures

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
