This handbook represents an edited collection of 18 chapters on the analysis and design of earthquake-resistant structures by numerical methods, especially software-based methods. Written by well known specialists in the field, they include tutorial as well as state-of-the-art material. The book thus may also be used as a reference source for additional information. The Handbook is unique in its kind as it combines in a single volume self-contained chapters on a great variety of structures not found elsewhere in one book, with a wealth of background material covering the required related subjects. No other book on earthquake engineering, old or recent, combines tutorial and state-of-the-art material of this subject from the modern viewpoint of computerized methodologies. More specifically, the book covers numerical methods in earthquake engineering, stochastic analysis methods, engineering seismology, strong ground motion and site effects, seismic hazard analysis and modeling, buildings, reinforced concrete structures, steel structures, masonry structures, bridges, dams, storage tanks and silos, offshore structures, underground and lifeline structures, seismic isolation and control, and repair and strengthening.
