Classification and Evaluation of Earthquake Records for Design

Résumé du livre

One of the most difficult questions that the designer of earthquake resistant structures must address is the determination of the critical earthquake. This is the earthquake ground motion which will drive the structure being designed to its critical response. This study provides processed data which will help the design engineer address this problem by identification of the severity and damage potential of components of a large database containing 1,500 records of earthquake ground motion. Over 100 charts and tables.
