Seismic Techniques: v. 12. (Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Series) - Hardcover

Reseña del editor

The sixth in the nine-volume series on structural dynamic systems tackles some issues involved in modern seismic design techniques for structures, with a view to enhancing their capability to survive powerful earthquakes to the degree that they can still function. The five studies cover analyzing the nonlinear dynamics of seismically isolated structures, seismic isolation by sliding and uplift, robust control design, analyzing embedded foundations in structural systems, and computational aspects of concrete beams plated with fiber-reinforced plastic. They are not indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
