This book is a state-of-the-art report on the ductility of steel structures, containing a comprehensive review of the technical literature available, and presenting the results of the authors' own extensive research activities.

Developments in earthquake engineering have focused on the capacity and response of structures, but they often overlook the importance of seismological knowledge to earthquake-proofing design. Reflecting the importance of appreciating the nature of a possible earthquake, this volume explores the concept of seismic design ¿ the bringing together of earthquake engineering and engineering seismology. It focuses on the seismological aspects of des...

The catastrophic earthquakes of the last decades (Mexico City, 1985, Loma Prieta, 1989, Northridge, 1994, Kobe, 1995) have seriously undermined there putation of steel structures, which in the past represented the most suitable solution for seismic resistant structures. Even if in very few cases, the performance of steel joints and members was unexpectedly bad, showing that it was due to some lacks in the current design concept. As a consequen...

Developments in Earthquake Engineering have focussed on the capacity and response of structures. They often overlook the importance of seismological knowledge to earthquake-proofing of design. It is not enough only to understand the anatomy of the structure, you must also appreciate the nature of the likely earthquake. Seismic design, as detailed in this book, is the bringing together of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology. It fo...
