Protection of built environment against earthquakes
Observed high losses throughout the world indicate that the risk due to earthquake hazard is still high and that it may even increase due to rapid population growth in the urban areas and ageing process of build environment. Therefore it is important to further develop methods, …

Mitigating the effects of earthquakes is crucial to bridge design. With chapters culled from the best-selling Bridge Engineering Handbook, this volume sets forth the principles and applications of seismic design, from the necessary geotechnical and dynamic analysis background to…
This work, part of a four-volume set on bridge engineering, sets forth the principles and applications of seismic design, from the necessary geotechnical and dynamic analysis background to seismic isolation and energy dissipation, active control, and retrofit technology. There a…
This authoritative resource has been thoroughly revised and expanded to contain the latest earthquake-resistant engineering techniques and regulations conforming with the 2015 International Building Code.
