Based on the proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Earthquake Resistant Engineering Structures (ERES), this book presents basic and applied research in the main fields of engineering relevant to earthquake resistant analysis and design of structural systems.
Here is a state-of-the-art report on the ductility of steel structures, containing a comprehensive review of the technical literature available, and presenting the results of the authors' extensive research activities in this area. Analytical and numerical methods are described …
"Nonlinear static monotonic (pushover) analysis has become a common practice in performance-based bridge seismic design. The popularity of pushover analysis is due to its ability to identify the failure modes and the design limit states of bridge piers and to provide the progres…
Protection of built environment against earthquakes
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, …
