US$ 179.95 (+ tax)
An understanding of the behaviour of structural systems must be acquired before engineers can effectively design a complex building system.

"Wind and Earthquake Resistant Buildings" describes the typical process of designing a building, from the determination of design loads to the evaluation of its behaviour for unusual effects. Chapters cover a broad range of topics, including wind effects, seismic design, traditional and newer types of bracing systems, and the restoration of damaged or seismically vulnerable buildings. The information is presented in a user-friendly format that allows a fundamental understanding of the behaviour of steel, concrete, and composite building structures.
