Seismic Design of Steel Moment-Resisting Frames, Lrfd Method

A book to help you getting acquainted with the seismic design principles & methodology established by the 97 Uniform Building Code that is also reflected in the IBC 2000 code for designing members & seismic connections. The author, a consulting engineer with 30 years of practice, has been Adjunct Professor at California State University Long Beach for several years & conducted ICBO seminars on steel design based on the 97 UBC & AISC LRFD Seismic Provisions, as well as seminars to prepare applicants for P.E. exam. The book uses an actual project to demonstrate how to comply with the provisions of the 97 Uniform Building Code, the latest AISC LRFD Manual of Steel Construction, 2nd Ed. & its Seismic Provisions. The material is presented in a concise, to-the-point manner ready to apply to the project on hand. Useful to civil & structural engineers not yet fully exposed to seismic design as well as those familiar with earthquake design regulations. Supported by structural details & diagrams.Erdey, Charles K. is the author of 'Seismic Design of Steel Moment-Resisting Frames, Lrfd Method' with ISBN 9780971207301 and ISBN 0971207305.
