โฆ Synopsis
Displacement-Based Seismic Design of Structures is a book primarily directed towards practicing structural designers who are interested in applying performance-based concepts to seismic design. Since much of the material presented in the book has not been published elsewhere, it will also be of considerable interest to researchers, and to graduate and upper-level undergraduate students of earthquake engineering who wish to develop a deeper understanding of how design can be used to control seismic response.

A brief summary of the history of seismic design as given in chapter 1, indicates that initially design was purely based on strength or force considerations. When the importance of displacement, however, became better appreciated, it was attempted to modify the existing force-based approach in order
"This book provides contributions on Earthquake Engineering and on Performance-Based design of concrete structures. This book includes topics such as advanced methods for the seismic assessment and vulnerability of structures, strength-based and deformation-based design, and Numerical Models for the
