  • Earthquake Resistant Buildings

    Dynamic Analyses, Numerical Computations, Codified Methods, Case Studies and Examples

    by M.Y.H. Bangash ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This concise work provides a general introduction to the design of buildings which must be resistant to the effect of earthquakes. A major part of this design involves the building structure which has a primary role in preventing serious damage or structural collapse. Much of the material presented in this book examines building structures. Due to the recent discovery of vertical components, it ... Read more

  • Deformation Compatibility Control for Engineering Structures

    Methods and Applications

    by Mengchong Chen, Zhihui Zhou, Hanhua Zhu, Jianliang Deng ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book presents essential methods of deformation compatibility control, and explicitly addresses the implied conditions on the methods’ deformation compatibility. Consequently, these conditions can be considered in engineering structure design, while the conditions on stable equilibrium can be taken into account in the design method. Thus, the designed deformation and the actual deformation of ... Read more

  • Towards a Territorial Multi-Disaster Buildings’ Resistance Certification

    by Daniele Fabrizio Bignami ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    Disaster risk is increasing, not only in number of events, but also in incurred losses. Such increases are being driven also by the growing exposure of assets, due to the rapid urban growth, because vulnerability decreases as countries develop, but not enough to compensate. The situation will be more and more critical, due to the growth of the amount of the building stock. Thus we need new ... Read more
