Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on base isolation technology, this updated edition explores its effectiveness in reducing seismic damage to structures, supported by both laboratory research and real-world applications. It details design methods and guidelines for implementing seismic isolation, particularly with damped natural rubber systems. Key topics include coupled lateral-torsional responses, multilayer bearings' behavior under various stresses, and elastomeric bearings' buckling behavior. The book also addresses recent updates in building code requirements, making it a comprehensive resource for engineers and architects in earthquake-prone areas.
