Language: English - ISBN-10: 0893121959 - ISBN-13: 978-0893121952 ...Special emphasis is given to the detailing requirements for a variety of structural componenets in regions of low, moderate, and high seismic risk. The detailed design of three reinforced concrete buildings in high seismic zones utilizing the various structural systems recognized in the 1997 UBC is illustrated. All three buildings are analyzed and designed for the combined effects of gravity, seismic, and wind loads.... Description: Comprehend the basic considerations involved in earthquake-resistant design. Included are the seismic design provisions and detailing requirements for structures located in regions of low, moderate, and high seismic activity. This publication outlines the basic considerations involved in earthquake-resistant design according to the provisions of the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC). Included is a comprehensive description of the seismic design provisions contained in the 1997 UBC, as well as a chapter devoted to seismic detailing requirements for structures located in regions of low, moderate, and high seismic activity. Comparisons between the requirements of the 1997 UBC and the 1994 UBC are also given. Presented are the designs of a special moment-resisting frame system, a building frame system, and a dual system for combined gravity, earthquake, and wind forces. Table of Contents: 1.
