Concrete Buildings in Seismic Regions

Concrete Buildings in Seismic Regions, 2nd Edition, connects basic earthquake engineering principles with practical structural design. The reference guides structural engineers in analyzing, designing, and assessing reinforced concrete buildings subjected to earthquake actions.

The volume examines structural dynamics, seismic demand, and the capacity of structural systems in terms of strength and deformation. In addition to new construction, it addresses existing structures through pre-earthquake vulnerability assessments, post-earthquake evaluations, and retrofitting procedures.

Featuring numerical examples, the book aligns with European Codes of Practice and references American standards for seismic design. It also serves as practice material for undergraduate and graduate courses in structural, concrete, and earthquake engineering.
