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.
"The endurance time method (ETM) is a seismic analysis procedure in which intensifying dynamic excitations are used as the loading function, and it provides many unique benefits in the design of structures. It can largely reduce the computational effort needed for the response h…
