Ductility of Seismic-Resistant Steel Structures - Hardcover

"'this publication provides a critical review of advanced issues in the analysis of seismic-resistant steel structures. It also presents the most recent research results of the authors, with emphasis on the assessment of structure ductility as the most efficient method of preparing the structure to resist unexpected strong seismic-events.' "MCEER Information Service News, Sept 2001."

This book is a state-of-the-art report on the ductility of steel structures, containing a comprehensive review of the technical literature available, and presenting the results of the authors' own extensive research activities in this area. Analytical and numerical methods are described, and a wealth of practical information is provided. Ductility of Seismic-Resistant Steel Structures will be of great use to advanced students, researchers, designers and professionals in the field of civil, structural and earthquake engineering.
