Seismic Design Procedures Manual: For practicing structural engineers (ASCE/SEI 7-16; IBC 2018; 16 spreadsheets) (Structural Engineering Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

This book covers the seismic structural design of buildings of moment resisting frames, shear and bearing walls, braced frames, and combinations of these systems, of reinforced concrete, reinforced masonry, and steel, and for conceptual, preliminary, and final design. The preliminary and final design procedures are with respect to the special ductility requirements only. The final design procedures presented are compliant with IBC 2018, ASCE 7-16, and the main documents they refer to (i.e. ACI 318-14; TMS 402-16; TMS 602-16; AISC 341-16; AISC 358-16). This book is intended primarily for professional engineers who already have some structural design experience but not in seismic design to American codes. Read more
