Von der hinteren Coverseite

Observation and research into the performance of steel structures during recent large earthquakes, such as those in Mexico City, Loma Prieta, Northridge, and Kobe, has produced some very interesting results; not least in emphasizing differences in the seismic effects of near-source and far-source earthquakes. This book presents a critical review of the huge amount of technical information generated from these observations. The authors consider all types of steel structures, and present a new philosophy for their effective and safe design.
