Response Spectrum Method: In Seismic Analysis of Structural Systems and Components, Second Edition
Author: Ajaya Kumar Gupta (Author) | Size: ? MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Unspecified | Publisher: CRC Press | Year: 2011 | pages: 300 | ISBN: 084939256X - 978-0849392566
The response spectrum method and the simplified techniques derived from it have become popular methods of seismic analysis and design. Including information garnered from research performed since the first edition, this new edition provides a complete single-source review of past and current research. The book features a new chapter on approximate seismic analysis of piping systems, and it also includes new downloadable modeling software that reflects recent developments discussed in the text. This text also covers new concepts, such as uniform hazard spectra and approximate Ritz-vector modeling.
