Earthquake Resistant Steel Structures - Arcelor Mittal article
info:
I just received a Newsletter "Constructalia nº6" June 2009, and I'd like to share a free article: Earthquake Resistant Steel Structures.
It's a PDF file, 5,5 Mb
This document aims to present in a straightforward manner the essentials of seismic design of steel structures, which is a field of engineering and construction to which ArcelorMittal contributes by continuous research efforts that bring better steel products and original design solutions to the market.
