Description
Seismic design of concrete buildings needs to be performed to a strong and recognised standard. Eurocode 8, the first European Standard for seismic design, is having an impact on seismic design standards in countries outside Europe. This book suits graduate or senior undergraduates and practising engineers. It includes a comprehensive case study of the design of a six storey building.
