The Seismic Design Handbook, 2nd Edition
Contains Up-To-Date Information on Planning, Analysis, and Design of Earthquake Resistant Building Structures

This new second edition of the handbook contains up-to-date information on planning, analysis, and design of earthquake-resistant building structures. Its intention is to provide engineers, architects, developers, and students of structural engineering and architecture with authoritative, yet practical, design information.

It bridges the gap between advances in the theories and concepts of seismic design and their implementation in practice. This handbook contains a CD-ROM with applicable building code references and recommended practices.

Includes contributing authors: James C. Anderson, Christopher Arnold, Hussain Bhatia, Bruce A. Bolt, R. Rao Boppana, Michel Bruneau, Craig A. Cole, Arnaldo T. Derecho, Roger M. Di Julio, Jr., John D. Gillengerten, Gary C. Hart, Ronald O. Hamburger, Reza Kianoush, Marshall Lew, Roy M. Lobo, Ronald L. Mayes, Bijan Mohraz, Farzad Naeim, John G. Shipp, Key-Chyuan Tsai, Chia-Ming Uang, and Andrew S.
