Earthquake engineering

Underground structures must be able to support static overburden loads, as well as to accommodate additional deformations imposed by seismic motions.

Colombia está ubicada en una zona geológicamente compleja y con la confluencia de tres placas tectónicas, razones por las cuales se presenta un alto riesgo por actividad sísmica.

Underground structures must be able to support static overburden loads, as well as to accommodate additional deformations imposed by seismic motions.

El objetivo de este libro es el de promover un verdadero progreso del proyecto sismorresistente orientado hacia el comportamiento estructural, lo que requiere un conocimiento profundo acerca de cómo se desarrolla la plastificación de la estructura hasta su colapso.

Este libro está dirigido a estudiantes de grado y postgrado, así como a ingenieros estructurales, arquitectos y otros profesionales interesados en el diseño sismorresisente de edificios.

Widely used in civil, mechanical and automotive engineer ing since the early 1980s, multilayer rubber bearings have been used as seismic isolation devices for buildings in highly seismic areas in many countries.

Fundamentals of Earthquake Engineering: From Source to Fragility, Second Edition combines aspects of engineering seismology, structural and geotechnical earthquake engineering to assemble the vital components required for a deep understanding of response of structures to earthquake ground motion, from the seismic source to the evaluation of actions and deformation required for design, and culminating with probabilistic fragility analysis that applies to individual as well as groups of buildings.

While numerous books have been written on earthquakes, earthquake resistance design, and seismic analysis and design of structures, none have been tailored for advanced students and practitioners, and those who would like to have most of the important aspects of seismic analysis in one place.

Earthquake Resistant Design and Risk Reduction, 2nd edition is based upon global research and development work over the last 50 years or more, and follows the author s series of three books Earthquake Resistant Design, 1st and 2nd editions (1977 and 1987), and Earthquake Risk Reduction (2003).
