Opis

A state-of-the-art summary of recent developments in the behaviour, analysis and design of seismic resistant steel frames. It provides advanced students, researchers and professionals in civil and structural engineering with the basic principles which the modern seismic codes are based upon. The book is much more than a simple background volume, because it also gives the most recent results which can be used in the near future to improve the codified recommendations for steel structures in seismic zones. All recent developments in seismic design of steel frames are dealt with. The book illustrates how these developments can be utilized to improve design rules.

Much more than a simple background volume, it gives the most recent results which can be used in the near future to improve the codified recommendations for steel structures in seismic zones. It contains new material which cannot be found in any standard reference book on seismic engineering.

Recenzje

'The book is to be commended to those engineers sho want to extend their knowledge beyond the basic and who want to tackle the enormous challenges which earthquake engineering introduces.' - The Structural Engineer
