Description
Book SynopsisBehaviour of Steel Structures in Seismic Areas is a comprehensive overview of recent developments in the field of seismic resistant steel structures. It comprises a collection of papers presented at the seventh International Specialty Conference STESSA 2012 (Santiago, Chile, 9-11 January 2012), and includes the state-of-the-art in both theoretical and experimental research on the behaviour of steel structures in seismic areas. The book is organized in the following sections:
- Performance-Based Design of Structures;
- Seismic, Wind and Exceptional Load;
- Material Behaviour;
- Member Behaviour;
- Connection Behaviour;
- Global Behaviour;
- Analytical and Experimental Methods;
- Mixed and Composite Structures;
- Passive and Active Control;
- Strengthening and Repairing;
- Codification;
- Design, Fabrication and Practice.
Behaviour of Steel Structures in Seismic Areas aims to close the gap
