Overview
After March 11, 2011 earthquake in Japan, there is overwhelming interest in worst-case analysis including the critical excitation method. Nowadays, seismic design of structures performed by any seismic code is based on resisting previous natural earthquakes. Critical Excitation Methods in Earthquake Engineering, 2nd Edition, develops a new framework for modeling design earthquake loads for inelastic structures. The second edition, includes three new chapters covering the critical excitation problem for multi-component input ground motions and that for elastic-plastic structures in a more direct way are incorporated and discussed in more depth. Finally the problem of earthquake resilience of super high-rise buildings is discussed from broader viewpoints.
- Solves problems of earthquake resilience of super high-rise buildings
- Three new chapters on critical excitation problem for multi-component input ground motions
- Includes numerical examples of one and two-story models
