Assessment of the Seismic vulnerability Behavior of the Structures

Meer over het boek

The book delves into the vulnerability of buildings to earthquakes, highlighting the significant damage even modern structures sustain during severe seismic events. It emphasizes the crucial need for structural engineering to predict future risks and develop strategies to mitigate earthquake impacts in urban areas. Key topics include the modeling of reinforced concrete to assess potential damages, understanding the nonlinear behavior of materials under stress, and establishing methods to evaluate structural performance during earthquakes.
