·         Fa riferimento alle principali indagini e ricerche derivanti dalle lezioni apprese dopo i principali e tragici terremoti degli ultimi decenni (da Northridge, 1994 Tohoku, 2011)

·         Illustra strutture in acciaio sismicamente resistenti presenti in tutto il mondo, mostrando come buoni principi di progettazione portano a risultati di successo

·         Individua le lacune nelle conoscenze sugli effetti dei diversi tipi di terremoti

·         Identifica una relazione adeguata tra ingegneria sismica e dei terremoti

·         Fornisce un approccio metodologico che fa una netta distinzione tra regioni a forte sismicità e a bassa-moderata sismicità

·         Propone nuovi sistemi di connessione per le nuove strutture in acciaio sismicamente resistenti e per rinforzi, ma anche per la riqualificazione delle strutture esistenti in cemento armato

·         Analizza il problema del fuoco dopo il terremoto, che produce a volte più danni e morti che solo il terremoto aprendo la strada ad un nuovo campo di ricerca.

 

Providing real world applications for different structural types and seismic characteristics, Seismic Design of Steel Structures combines knowledge of seismic behavior of steel structures with the principles of earthquake engineering. This book focuses on seismic design, and concentrates specifically on seismic-resistant steel structures.

Drawing on experience from the Northridge to the Tohoku earthquakes, it combines understanding of the seismic behavior of steel structures with the principles of earthquake engineering. The book focuses on the global as well as local behavior of steel structures and their effective seismic-resistant design. It recognises different types of earthquakes, takes into account the especial danger of fire after earthquake, and proposes new bracing and connecting systems for new seismic resistant steel structures, and also for upgrading existing reinforced concrete structures.
