Seismic Performance of Multistorey Structures

"Seismic Performance of Multistorey Structures: Modeling and Analysis" offers a comprehensive exploration of the behavior of multistorey buildings under seismic loading, focusing on modeling techniques and analytical methods to assess their seismic performance. The book begins with an introduction to seismic design principles and the behavior of multistorey structures during earthquakes. It then delves into the fundamentals of structural dynamics, providing readers with the necessary background to understand the dynamic response of buildings to seismic forces.A significant portion of the book is dedicated to discussing various modeling approaches for multistorey structures, including analytical models, numerical simulations, and finite element analysis (FEA). Special emphasis is placed on the development of realistic and accurate computational models that capture the dynamic behavior and response characteristics of multistorey buildings under seismic excitation.
