Seismic and Wind Design of Concrete Buildings

Authors S.K. Ghosh and Prabuddha Dasgupta provide comprehensive coverage of seismic and wind design provisions, and discuss the response of concrete buildings to earthquake and wind forces. Application is illustrated by designing and detailing typical structural members in buildings in areas of low, moderate and high seismic risk on different types of soil. Six chapters cover the design of office, residential, and school buildings using a variety of framing methods, as well as a precast parking structure.

Features:

• Introduction to earthquake-resistant design and summaries of the seismic and wind design provisions of the 2009 IBC® and ASCE/SEI 7-05
• The design of an office building with a dual system and a moment-resisting frame systems in the two orthogonal directions
• The design of a residential building utilizing shear wall-frame interactive and building frame systems
• The design of a school building with moment resisting frames
• The design of a residential building with bearing wall system
• The design of a precast parking structure

A practical reference for civil and structural engineers, educators, students, and plan reviewers.
