Introduction.- Load and Behaviour Criteria.- Structural Design and Analysis.- Seismic Analysis and Design.- Design against Impulse and Impact Loads.- Experimental.

Focusing on earthquake-resistant building design, this work emphasizes the critical role of building structures in preventing damage and collapse. It explores both lateral forces and the newly identified impact of vertical components on structural integrity. The book serves as a general introduction, providing essential insights into the principles and practices necessary for creating resilient buildings in earthquake-prone areas.

Aims to bring together experts from the medical and engineering fields in which trauma acts as a fulcrum in understanding the engineering approach to medical cases. This book lays emphasis on the retrospective study of medical scenarios as seen from the engineering perspective. It covers a wide spectrum of trauma case studies.

This excellent book highlights all aspects of the analysis and design of buildings subject to impact, explosion and fire. It is a definitive reference book and contains 10 sections from a wide international prospective. Three-dimensional finite element and discrete element techniques are included. They are applied to buildings such as the World Trade Center (WTC Twin Towers) and the Federal Building in Oklahoma on the basis of the designers drawings, data and other information. Many small case studies are also included. The book has a comprehensive bibliography and a large appendix providing background analysis and Computer subroutines of recently developed programs. TOC:Blast and Explosion: Introduction.- Explosion Dynamics.- Blast Loadings on Buildings.- Steel Structures.- Concrete Structures.- Glass and Glazing in Structures.- Masonry Walls.- Case studies on bomb damage to buildings.- The World (Twin Towers) Trade Centre.- Appendix I dynamic non-linear finite element formation.-Appendix II Penetration and Fragmentation Analysis.- Appendix III Collision Forces.- Appendix IV Material Response to High Rate Loading.- Appendix V Computer Subroutines
