"Design Of Wind And Earthquake Resistant Reinforced Concrete Buildings | Civil Engineering

Design of Wind and Earthquake Resistant Reinforced Concrete Buildings explains wind and seismic design issues of RCC buildings in brief and provides design examples based on recommendations of latest IS codes essential for industrial design. Intricate issues of RCC design are discussed which are supplemented by real-life examples. Guidelines are presented for evaluating the acceptability of wind-induced motions of tall buildings. Design methodologies for structures to deform well beyond their elastic limits which is essential under seismic excitation have been discussed in detail. Comparative discussion including typical design examples using recent British Euro and American codes is also included. Features: Explains wind and earthquake resistant design issues balancing theoretical aspects and design implications in detail Discusses issues for designing the wind and earthquake resistant RCC structures Provides comprehensive understanding analysis design and detailing of the structures Includes a detailed discussion on IS code related to wind and earthquake resistant design and its comparison with Euro British and American codes Contains architectural drawings and structural drawings The book is aimed at researchers professionals graduate students in wind and earthquake engineering design of RCC structures modelling and analysis of structures civil/infrastructure engineering.|Design of Wind and Earthquake Resistant Reinforced Concrete Buildings | Civil Engineering
