DESCRIPTION:
Includes a worksheet that takes the drudgery out of estimating wind response.The book presents an in-depth review of wind effects and outlines seismic design, highlighting the dymamic behavior of buildings. It covers the design and detailing the requirements of steel, concrete, and composite buidlings assigned to seismic design categories A through E. The author explains critical code specific items and structural concepts by doing the nearly impossible feat of addressing the history, reason for existence, and intent of major design provisions of the building codes. The text format follows, in a logical manner, the typical process of designing a building, from the first step of determining design loads, to the final step of evaluating its behavior for unusual effects. While the scope of the book is intentionally broad, it provides enough in-depth coverage to make it useful for structural engineers in all stages of their careers. Developed as a resource for practicing engineer
James Izape said Informative & Interesting. WERB:Structural Analysis & Design.This book brings to life what a lot of structural engineers grapple with. It is informative and interesting and provides a very clear direction of how to understand and deal with Wind & Earthquake Resistent Buildings. I highly recommend this volume.. Alberto Borrego Sanchez said DISEÑO DE EDIFICIOS ALTOS. EL LIBRO PRESENTA EL ESTADO DEL ARTE TANTO EN LOS ASPECTOS SISMICOS COMO DE VIENTO A TOAMR EN CUENTA EN EL DISEÑO DE EDIFICIOS ALTOS.-ME RESULTA UNA ADQUISICIÓN MUY IMPORTANTE PARA MANTENERME ACTUALIZADO EN LOS METODOS Y CRITERIOS DE DISEÑO.ATENTAMENTEING.
