Design of Steel Structures for Building in Seismic Areas

This volume elucidates the design criteria and principles for steel structures under seismic loads according to Eurocode 8–1. Worked Examples illustrate the application of the design rules. Two case studies serve as best–practice samples. INDICE: PART 1. DESIGN CRITERIA AND CODIFICATION. 1 Seismic design principles. 1.1. Capacity design criteria. 1.2.
