Elucidates the theoretical as well as practical aspects of earthquake-resistant design ; Includes a case study on the 2001 Bhuj Earthquake to facilitate insight into the effects of seismic forces on structures ; Provides standard tables both in the text and in the appendices for ready reference ; Incorporates pedagogical features such as solved problems, review questions, end-chapter exercises, and highlighted information on design specifications and norms. It aims to explain the different sources of damage that can be triggered by an earthquake and the conceptual method of earthquake-resistant design. The book would also be useful for postgraduate students of civil engineering, practising engineers, and architects. Beginning with an introduction to earthquakes and ground motion, the book provides a detailed coverage of structures and soil in terms of their seismic response. The need for placing emphasis on conceptual design is covered in detail by enumerating factors that cause damage and by offering guidelines for efficient seismic-resistant design, with special attention to timber, masonry, concrete, and steel buildings.
