It retains an overview of structural dynamics, the analysis and design of new R\/C buildings in seismic regions, post-earthquake damage evaluation, pre-earthquake assessment of buildings and retrofitting procedures, and several numerical examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book outlines appropriate structural systems for many types of buildings, explores recent developments, and covers the last two decades of analysis, design, and earthquake engineering. It specifically addresses seismic demand issues and the basic issues of structural dynamics, considers the \"capacity\" of structural systems to withstand seismic effects in terms of strength and deformation, and highlights the assessment of existing R\/C buildings under seismic action. All of the material has been developed to fit a modern seismic code and offers in-depth knowledge of the background upon which the code rules are based. It complies with European Codes of Practice for R\/C buildings in seismic regions, and includes references to current American Standards for seismic design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Penelis, Gregory Penelis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032094672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032094670\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 1.63d","brand":"George Penelis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44169972252927,"sku":"9781032094670","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_66bf9a73-41b5-40f9-ac2b-0b3dadf774a5.jpg?v=1689656061","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/concrete-buildings-in-seismic-regions-george-penelis-9781032094670","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
