Complete description

This book is an ideal textbook for earthquake and structural engineering students, readers will find that it is generic , focusing on fundamental problems rather than regional coverage. The book includes problems to be used as homework assignment together with some solved examples. The accompanying CD/website (TBC) will contain some simple programs for strong-motion and spectra as well as structural response analysis. The features are: presents new and advanced concepts in a simple and modern fashion; provides a consistent approach to the subject matter across chapters; focuses on underlying principles and concepts essential to earthquake engineering methodologies under development today; and discussions include characterization of seismic input, evaluation of response, assessment of performance, and retrofit and rehabilitation.
