Description
Topics include
- Characteristics of collapse-inducing ground motions, including energy-demand and cyclic-demand,
- Strongest ground motions from more than 200,000 instrument-year of recorded data worldwide,
- Comparison between predicted and recorded ground motions,
- Seismic characteristics and analysis of structures, including seismic-toughness and cyclic-capacity,
- Practical nonlinear analysis of structures,
- Role of aftershocks and number of cycles in seismic design, and
- Collapse-proof, rather than collapse resistant, seismic design.
Through this book, Dr. Malhotra provides valuable insights and new ways of thinking for structural and geotechnical engineers, architects, seismologists, insurers, regulators, educators, and policymakers.
