Product Description:
Emphasizes actual structural design, not analysis, of multistory buildings for seismic resistance. Strong emphasis is placed on specific detailing requirements for construction. Fundamental design principles are presented to create buildings that respond to a wide range of potential seismic forces, which are illustrated by numerous detailed examples. The discussion includes the design of reinforced concrete ductile frames, structural walls, dual systems, reinforced masonry structures, buildings with restricted ductility and foundation walls. In addition to the examples, full design calculations are given for three prototype structures.

The Earthquake Engineering - Strong Motion Group is a research group of the University of Southern California, Civil Engineering Department. Its research focuses on: (i) earthquake strong ground motion for engineering applications, and (ii) earthquake response of man made structures, aiming to improvement of the seismic design procedures and earthquake risks reduction. Its research is interdisciplinary, and covers a wide range of topics, such as: earthquake source mechanism, seismic wave propagation, site and propagation path effects on strong ground motion, prediction of strong ground motion for design (peak amplitudes, duration, and spectral characteristics…), probabilistic seismic hazard assessment, strong motion recording and data processing, soil-structure interaction, structural identification and health monitoring using ambient noise and forced vibrations, effects of various realistic representations of strong ground motion on structures. The group operates the Los Angeles and Vicinity Strong Motion Network, installed in 1979/80, which has contributed valuable data for numerous engineering and seismological studies The group also maintains and develops equipment and processing methods for ambient vibration testing of full-scale structures. The group was formed in 1976 when Prof. M.D. Trifunac joined the Civil Engineering faculty.

Structural Analysis with Finite Elements develops the foundations and applications of the finite element method in structural analysis in a language which is familiar to structural engineers. At the same time, it uncovers the structural mechanics behind the finite element method. This innovative text explores and explains issues such as: why finite element results are "wrong", why support reactions are relatively accurate, why stresses at midpoints are more reliable, why averaging the stresses sometimes may not help or why the equilibrium conditions are violated. An additional chapter treats the boundary element method and related software is available at .Structural Analysis with Finite Elements provides a new foundation for the finite element method that enables structural engineers to address key questions that arise in computer modelling of structures with finite elements
