Earthquake Engineering Application to Design
PREFACE
The primary motivation for writing this book is the causes of structural failures—what
went wrong—during the earthquakes that hit the western states
in the last decades.
In view of the relatively large number of steel moment-resisting frames
damaged during the Northridge earthquake, the book expands on the evaluation
and performance of structures of this type. The pre- and post-Northridge
experimental research and new design strategies to improve moment connections
for new buildings are also discussed, keeping in mind basic building
code concepts to demonstrate the application of general strength-level load
combinations.
