Opis

An English edition of a successful Greek textbook on earthquake resistant concrete structures, this work provides an introduction to the subject for professional engineers, researchers and advanced students.

Recenzje

'The book is a very welcome addition to the literature on the subject, particularly in its exposition of the European state-of-the in the subject.' - Engineering Structures

Such a systematic presentation of the technical background (of the subject) as well as of its practical application, will not be found in any other book' - Beton und Stahlbetonbau

'With such a structure and wealth of information that it offers, I believe that the book under review will become the main reference book on the subject in Europe' - Greek Engineer's Handbook
