Description
An Original Source of Expressions and Tools for the Design of Concrete Elements with EurocodeSeismic design of concrete buildings needs to be performed to a strong and recognized standard. Eurocode 8 was introduced recently in the 30 countries belonging to CEN, as part of the suite of Structural Eurocodes, and it represents the first European Stand
Reviews / Votes
"This new book is a perfect example of a self-contained document on seismic design that can be used as a textbook for graduate students entering the field, as well as by high level practitioners willing to go deeper into detailed explanations related to the large amount of knowledge that exists behind Eurocode 8.... The authors of the book are scientists of international renown."- Paolo Emilio Pinto, University of Rome - La Sapienza
"The book is "problem solving" minded. It captures the attention of readers who are designers by raising practical questions on real case problems; this and helps to provide a comprehensive understanding of seismic design issues."
- Prof. Hon. Andre Plumier, University of Liege, Belgium
"The materials are easy to follow, clear and informative. The examples provided are realistic and challenging but illustrate well the concepts exposed. It seems like a perfect companion to Eurocode8 and achieves its aim of catering to an audience of graduate engineers, MSc students and practitioners."
- Professor Tiziana Rossetto, University College London
"... will be a great help to anyone who wishes to apply EC8 in a responsible and consistent way. It will thus be of great interest to practitioners and consultants. ... contains a significant number of well thought and interesting examples and problems, that allow a thorough understanding."
- Gian Michele Calvi, IUSS, Pavia and Eucentre Foundation, Pavia, Italy
"The reader can understand the basic methods of earthquake engineering, even beyond the simple explanation of Eurocode 8. Above all, many examples are given, which allows the reader to illustrate and apply the provisions. Most of these examples are discussed, but some are left to the thoughts of the reader, a good way for him to understand."
- Philippe Bisch, EGIS Industries, Ecole des Ponts ParisTech
