Pankaj Agarwal Earthquake Resistant Design Pdf

[Kerby Reynolds]

Thisdocument provides an overview of the book "Earthquake Resistant Design of Structures" by Pankaj Agarwal and Manish Shrikhande. The book covers topics related to earthquake engineering including engineering seismology, seismic ground motions, structural dynamics, seismic analysis and modeling, and concepts of earthquake resistant design of reinforced concrete buildings. It aims to help readers understand earthquake effects on structures and design earthquake resistant structures. The book contains four parts covering earthquake ground motion, structural dynamics, earthquake resistant design concepts, and seismic analysis and modeling of reinforced concrete buildings.Read less

Intended mainly as a text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of civil engineering, this text would also be of considerable benefit to practising engineers, architects, field engineers and teachers in the field of earthquake resistant design of structures.

Dr. Manish Shrikhande is Professor and Head of the Department of Earthquake Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. His current research interests are vibration monitoring and control, seismic risk and mitigation, and computational mechanics.

Dr. Pankaj Agarwal is Professor at the Department of Earthquake Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. His research interests are earthquake-resistant design of masonry and RC structures, post-damage assessment survey of earthquake-affected areas, risk assessment, cyclic testing of structures, seismic instrumentation in multi-storied buildings, health monitoring, and damage detection in buildings. He is continuously engaged in research on structurally sound and seismically efficient construction and has published several research papers in national and international journals and conferences/seminars/symposia.
