Earthquake design practice for buildings Second edition





Preface

Scope of the book

This book is intended as a design guide for practitioners and advanced students

with a sound knowledge of structural design who are not expert in seismic aspects

of design, and perhaps are encountering the problem for the first time. Earthquake

engineering is a vast subject and the intention of this book is not to provide a fully

comprehensive treatment of all its aspects. Rather, it is to provide the practising

engineer with an understanding of those aspects of the subject that are important

when designing buildings in earthquake country, with references to sources of

more detailed information where necessary. Many of the principles discussed

also apply to the design of non-building structures, such as bridges or telecommunications

towers, but the scope of this book is restricted to buildings.
