Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings

Jack Moehle, the T.Y. and Margaret Lin Professor of Engineering in the department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of California, has published this exclusive ebook that explains the theory and practice toward the design and assessment of earthquake resisting reinforced concrete buildings.

The book discourses the behavior of reinforced concrete materials, components, and systems based on routine and extreme loads as well as underlines response to earthquake loading.

Besides, discussions are made on design methods, both at a basic level as necessary for existing building codes and at an advanced level required for distinctive issues like seismic performance evaluation.

The book also contains data and models suitable for exploring reinforced concrete structures as well as various examples, tables, and equations.

Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings focuses on the following topics :

• Seismic design and performance verification
• Steel reinforcement
• Concrete
• Confined concrete
• Axially loaded members
• Moment and axial force
• Shear in beams, columns, and walls

• Development and anchorage
• Beam-column connections
• Slab-column and slab-wall connections
• Seismic design overview
• Special moment frames
• Special structural walls
• Gravity framing
• Diaphragms and collectors
• Foundations
