DESCRIPTION:
Fundamentals of Seismic Loading on Structures is organised into four major sections: introduction to earthquakes and related engineering problems, analysis, seismic loading, and design concepts.From a practical perspective, reviews linear and non-linear behaviour, introduces concepts of uniform hazard spectra, discusses loading provisions in design codes and examines soil-structure interaction issues, allowing the reader to quickly identify and implement information in a working environment.Discusses probabilistic methods that are widely employed in the assessment of seismic hazard, illustrating the use of Monte Carlo simulation with a number of worked examples.Summarises the latest developments in the field such as performance-based seismic engineering and advances in liquefaction research.“There are many books on earthquake engineering, but few are of direct use to
Useful resource for practising structural engineers This is a well written book by a recognized authority on seismic engineering which should satisfy the needs of undergraduate students as well as practising structural engineers. It successfully translates research findings into an understandable format, describing the design process and providing worked examples from design projects.The book is logically organised, starting with a comprehensive introduction to earthquakes, going on to deal with Analysis and Seismic Loading and finally addressing Design Concepts.Of particular note is the chapter devoted to explaining probabilistic methods of assessing the seismic hazard.

From the Inside Flap "There are many books on earthquake engineering, but few are of direct use to the practising structural designer. The author has succeeded in marrying important seismological considerations with structural engineering practice, and this long-awaited book will find ready acceptance in the profession." Professor Patrick J. This one, however, offers a new perspective, putting emphasis on the practical aspects of quantifying seismic loading, and explaining the importance of g
