Author(s)/Editor(s): S. KAVITHA, S. R. DAMODARASAMY | Size: 30.6 MB| Format: PDF| Quality: Scanner| Publisher: Prentice Hall of India| Year: 2009| pages: 337 | ISBN: ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 812033843X ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-8120338432

This book covers all the four major areas of Earthquake Engineering such as Structural Dynamics, Seismology, Seismic Analysis, Aseismic Design, including design philosophy, capacity design and codal provisions. It also provides detailed information on liquefaction of soil and effects of soil properties on response spectra. Each chapter is well-designed and well-balanced with lucid illustrations and diagrams. Numerous solved examples have been included for better comprehension of the concepts. Exercises with answers have been provided at the end of each chapter to develop problem-solving skills of the students.

This comprehensive survey of the effects of earthquakes on dynamics of structures and their aseismic design is intended for B.E./B.Tech. students of Civil Engineering and M.E./ M.Tech. students of Structural Engineering.

SALIENT FEATURES
