Seismic Design of Buildings to Eurocode 8

Product Description
As the new Eurocode 8 on the Design of Structures for Earthquake Resistance has
acquired the status of a full Euronorm, practical information and training has become
urgently needed, especially in relation to the underlying principles of seismic behaviour
and the design of building structures. This book covers seismic design in a clear but brief
manner and links the principles to the code, illustrated with design examples. Concrete
and steel buildings, and their foundations, are given special emphasis but the book is also
applicable to many other types of structure and sub-structure.The book stems from
practical short courses on seismic design, run jointly by the Society for Earthquake and
Civil Engineering Dynamics (SECED) and Imperial College London. Its contributors are
either senior academics with significant consulting experience, or leading practitioners,
which gives the book a strong industry emphasis. It will be of value to a wide range of
practising civil and structural engineers at different stages of their careers; and should
also be of direct use to academics preparing courses and worked examples on seismic
design to EC8, to advanced undergraduate students, and to Masters level students in
Earthquake, Structural or Geotechnical Engineering.
