Description
Seismic Design for Architects shows how structural requirements for seismic resistance can become an integral part of the design process.
Structural integrity does not have to be at the expense of innovative, high standard design in seismically active zones.
* By emphasizing
design and discussing key concepts with accompanying visual material, architects are given the background knowledge and practical tools
needed to deal with aspects of seismic design at all stages of the design process
* Seismic codes from several continents are drawn
upon to give a global context of seismic design
* Extensively illustrated with diagrams and photographs
* A non-mathematical approach
focuses upon the principles and practice of seismic resistant design to enable readers to grasp the concepts and then readily apply them
to their building designs
Seismic Design for Architects is a comprehensive, practical reference work and text book for students of architecture,
building science, architectural and civil engineering, and professional architects and structural engineers.

Professional and student architects; architectural engineering students; civil and structural engineering students
