| Résumé : |
New topics include the creation of low-damage structures and the spatial distribution of ground shaking near large fault ruptures. Sections on guidance for developing countries, response of buildings to differential settlement in liquefaction, performance-based and displacement-based design and the architectural aspects of earthquake resistant design are heavily revised.
This book: Outlines individual national weaknesses that contribute to earthquake risk to people and property. Calculates the seismic response of soils and structures, using the structural continuum “Subsoil – Substructure – Superstructure – Non–structure”. Evaluates the effectiveness of given design and construction procedures for reducing casualties and financial losses. Provides guidance on the key issue of choice of structural form. Presents earthquake resistant design methods for the main four structural materials – steel, concrete, reinforced masonry and timber – as well as for services equipment, plant and non-structural architectural components. Contains a chapter devoted to problems involved in improving (retrofitting) the existing built environment. |
