Seismic Isolation for designers and Structural Engineers
by R. Ivan Skinner, Trevor E. Kelly & Bill (W. H.) Robinson
(Don't have ISBN, publisher detail)
The seismic isolation technology helps in protecting structures from earthquake damage. This new book provides both theory and practical aspects of seismic isolation technique, which is an extract of more than three decades of in-hand experience on the seismic isolation systems by the authors. It contains the necessary mathematical tools and introduces the empirical methods with detailed design and documentation material of type that a structural engineer would need to implement isolation technique.
With the help of this book a professional can have preliminary design in order to avoid impossible constraints and thereby check the risk analysis of the design before hand.
