This book is intended as a design guide for practitioners and advanced students with a sound knowledge of structural design who are not expert in seismic aspects of design, and perhaps are encountering the problem for the first time. Earthquake engineering is a vast subject and the intention of this book is not to provide a fully comprehensive treatment of all its aspects. Rather, it is to provide the practising engineer with an understanding of those aspects of the subject that are important when designing buildings in earthquake country, with references to sources of more detailed information where necessary. Many of the principles discussed
also apply to the design of non-building structures, such as bridges or telecommunications towers, but the scope of this book is restricted to buildings.
Although earthquakes do not respect national boundaries, the practice of earthquake engineering does vary significantly between regions, and this is reflected in the differing formats and requirements of national seismic codes. The book is intended to be more general than to describe the approach in just one code, although it reflects the experience of the authors, particularly of the European seismic code Eurocode 8 and of US codes. Japanese practice is in many ways very different, and is scarcely mentioned here.

Earthquake Design Practice for Buildings
2. Edition

Authors: Edmund D. Booth, David Key
Edition: 2, illustrated
Publisher: Thomas Telford, 2006
ISBN: 0727729470, 9780727729477
Length: 306 pages
Pdf: 28.2 mb
Pdf Quality Condition: 7 points (over 10), scanned copy

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.

Earthquake Design Practice for Buildings 3ed.

Author: Edmund Boot | Size: 26.6 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Unspecified | Publisher: ICE Publishing | Year: 2014 | pages: 368 | ISBN: 0727757946

Earthquake Design Practice for Buildings is an internationally applicable, practical guide for engineers to the seismic design of buildings for earthquake-resilient communities.

In its third edition, Earthquake Design Practice for Buildings continues to provide comprehensive, practical, easy to read advice on the technical issues that have to be considered in the seismic design of buildings. It has been extensively updated and expanded, with completely new material added on socio-economic factors, recent technologies for earthquake resistance, displacement-based design, assessment of liquefaction potential and new developments in the seismic-resisting design and analysis of concrete, steel, timber and masonry structures.

Outlining the principles of structural dynamics applicable to seismic analysis and presenting the fundamentally important issue of conceptual design for satisfactory seismic performance, the reader is enabled to understand and analyse the way in which an earthquake stresses a building, choose structural forms and materials to cope with these stresses and translate this into practical, affordable, attractive spaces that can survive a very severe earthquake and remain operational following less severe seismic events.

Earthquake Design Practice for Buildings:

Discusses the design of foundations and issues specific to seismic design of concrete, steel, masonry and timber buildings and their contents, explaining principles that can be applied to other structural materials
Details developments in assessing and strengthening seismic resistance of existing structures which, without adequate seismic resistance, pose a huge safety and economic threat
Is internationally applicable, explaining the science and engineering underpinning national codes
Draws on the lessons that can be learnt from the way buildings have performed in past earthquakes, including recent events in Haiti, Christchurch (New Zealand) and Japan
Considers the threat to human activity from earthquakes and the strategies employed to mitigate this
Written by a practising structural engineer, Earthquake Design Practice for Buildings provides a practical introduction to seismic engineering for engineers designing and analyzing earthquake resistant structures; it is also aimed at researchers and at advanced engineering students with a previous knowledge of structural design.
