Basic Earthquake Engineering From Seismology to Analysis and Design Free PDF

Basic Earthquake Engineering From Seismology to Analysis and Design Free PDF

By Halûk Sucuoğlu

 

Earthquake engineering is generally considered as an advanced research area in engineering education. Most of the textbooks published in this field cover topics related to graduate education and research.

There is a growing need, however, for the use of basic earthquake engineering knowledge, especially, in the earthquake resistant design of structural systems. Civil engineering graduates who are concerned with the structural design face the fundamental problems of earthquake engineering more frequently in their professional careers.

Hence, an introductory level textbook covering the basic concepts of earthquake engineering and earthquake-resistant design is considered an essential educational instrument to serve this purpose.

This book aims at introducing earthquake engineering to senior undergraduate students in civil engineering and to master’s students in structural engineering who do not have a particular background in this area.

Content :
  • 1 Nature of Earthquakes
  • 2 Seismic Hazard Assessment
  • 3 Response of Simple Structures to Earthquake Ground Motions.
  • 4 Earthquake Design Spectra
  • 5 Response of Building Frames to Earthquake Ground Motions.
  • 6 Analysis Procedures and Seismic Design Principles for Building Structures
  • 7 Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures.

Earthquake Engineering Theory and Implementation Free PDF

By Nazzal Armouti

 

Earthquake engineering is the science that studies the behavior of structures under earthquake excitation and provides the rules on how to design structures to survive seismic shocks.

Earthquakes are wild and violent events that can have dramatic effects on structures. In fact, many structures have collapsed during earthquakes because earthquake-induced forces or displacements exceeded the ultimate capacity of the structures. Therefore, the study of structural behavior at full capacity is a necessary element of earthquake engineering.

Content :
  • Introduction
  • Characteristics of earthquakes
  • Linear elastic dynamic analysis
  • Nonlinear and inelastic dynamic analysis
  • The behavior of structures under seismic excitation
  • Design of earthquake-resistant buildings (icc)
  • Seismic provisions of reinforced concrete structures (aci 318)
  • Introduction to the aisc seismic provisions for structural steel buildings
  • Introduction to the aisc seismic provisions for structural steel buildings
  • Geotechnical aspects and foundations
  • Synthetic earthquakes
  • Seismic isolation

Seismic Analysis of Structures Free PDF

Seismic Analysis of Structures Free PDF

By T. K. Datta

 

For structural engineers, earthquake engineering can be broadly divided into three areas, namely,
seismology (including ground effects), seismic analysis, and seismic design.

These areas are big subjects in themselves and deserve separate treatment in exclusive books. While there are many excellent books that cover these three areas in varying proportions, none have been written exclusively on the seismic analysis of structures for use in teaching an undergraduate elective or a postgraduate core course.

Furthermore, there are virtually no books that contain all aspects of the seismic analysis of structures, combining new concepts with existing ones, which graduate students pursuing research in the area of earthquake engineering would appreciate.

Content :
  • 1 Seismology.
  • 2 Seismic Inputs for Structures.
  • 3 Response Analysis for Specified Ground Motions.
  • 4 Frequency Domain Spectral Analysis.
  • 5 Response Spectrum Method of Analysis.
  • 6 Inelastic Seismic Response of Structures.
  • 7 Seismic Soil-Structure Interaction.
  • 8 Seismic Reliability Analysis of Structures.
  • 9 Seismic Control of Structures.

Jong Wan H., Smart Connection Systems – Design and Seismic Analysis, 2015

 

This book introduces new smart connection systems which can be used in aseismic building design in order to control inter-story drifts and to reduce residual displacements.

They are also utilized as damper devices and base isolators. The application of these systems to composite moment frame buildings will also be treated in the book.

In addition, the book will discuss how to make nonlinear frame models used for simulating entire behavior in the building as well as advance finite element (FE) models used for accurately reproducing mechanical behavior in the local system. Will be of interest to researchers, engineers, and students in the field of civil and structural engineering.
