Description
“As well as being a practical guide to design, the book is also a valuable reference work, offering excellent bibliographies on all the major topics, and valuable suggestions for follow-up study where needed. For these reasons and many more this book will be appreciated – and enjoyed – by all those who have responsibility for the design, construction and maintenance of buildings in earthquake areas, both in the European area and worldwide”.
Professor Robin Spence
President, European Association for Earthquake Engineering
This book provides comprehensive, practical and easy to read advice for all engineers, designers and analysts of earthquake resistant structures. The entire text is completely revised to account for the many developments that have taken place since the publication of the best-selling first edition in 1988. This includes advances in the understanding of how structures and the soils that support them respond to ground shaking, development of new robust forms of earthquake resistant construction, and improved forms of analysis and assessment.
The scope includes buildings in concrete, steel, timber and masonry; site effects, soil liquefaction and foundation design. Extensive references are made to the recently published European seismic code, Eurocode 8 and to US seismic codes and standards. There are also chapters on seismic analysis, the retrofit of existing buildings, building contents and seismic isolation.
Edmund Booth MA, CEng, FICE, FIStructE graduated from Cambridge University in 1969, and has worked on the design and construction of building and civil engineering projects in the UK, Africa and many other parts of the world. In 1981, he was appointed Ove Arup & Partners’ London specialist in seismic engineering, a post he left in 1995 to found his own practice. He is a fellow of the Institutions of Civil and Structural Engineers and a past chairman of the UK’s specialist earthquake society SECED. He was a founder member of the UK Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team EEFIT, and has led or participated in six field studies of major earthquakes. From 1998 to 2003, he was a visiting professor at Oxford University, and currently teaches a module in the earthquake engineering MSc at Imperial College. For many years he has been involved in the development of the European seismic code Eurocode 8, for which he acts as the UK Technical co-ordinator.
David Key PhD, CEng, FICE, FIStructE is a consulting engineer and past Chairman of the Seismic Code Committee of Trinidad and Tobago, and a past chairman of The Society for Earthquake and Civil Engineering Dynamics (SECED). He has been involved in the development of earthquake engineering worldwide and has written technical papers on the subject. He is also a Research Fellow at Bristol University. Contents
