Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings

Complete coverage of earthquake-resistant concrete building designWritten by a renowned seismic engineering expert, this authoritative resource discusses the theory and practice for the design and evaluation of earthquakeresisting reinforced concrete buildings. The book addresses the behavior of reinforced concrete materials, components, and systems subjected to routine and extreme loads, with an emphasis on response to earthquake loading.Design methods, both at a basic level as required by current building codes and at an advanced level needed for special problems such as seismic performance assessment, are described. Data and models useful for analyzing reinforced concrete structures as well as numerous illustrations, tables, and equations are included in this detailed reference.Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings covers: Seismic design and performance verificationSteel reinforcementConcreteConfined concreteAxially loaded membersMoment and axial forceShear in beams, columns, and wallsDevelopment and anchorageBeam-column connectionsSlab-column and slab-wall connectionsSeismic design overviewSpecial moment framesSpecial structural wallsGravity framingDiaphragms and collectorsFoundations
