A unified presentation of engineering seismology and earthquake-resistant design, this book presents a wide ranging coverage of the whole subject of earthquake engineering so that the reader is given a clear appreciation of earthquakes before dealing with their effects on structures. In addition, newer mathematical modelling techniques are introduc

Preface. Part One: General overview and fundamentals. Part Two: Engineering seismology. Part Three: Theory of earthquake response of structures. Part Four: Seismic considerations in structural engineering. Part Five: New analytical tools in earthquake engineering.
