Principles of Conceptual Design of Earthquake Resistant Structures
Principles of conceptual design of earthquake resistant building structures deals with load transfer and shapes of structures for desired behaviour during earthquake.
Types of Earthquake Resistant Masonry Walls Construction
There are various types of masonry wall which may be suitable to construct in areas prone to earthquakes. Types of these seismic resistant masonry wall are discussed.
Soil-Structure Interaction -Effects, Analysis and Applications in Design
Soil-structure interaction is a study of response of soil and structure during earthquake. Its effects, analysis and applications in structural design is discussed.
Seismic Design of Retaining Wall
Seismic design of retaining wall is considerably complicated problem in which assumptions have to be considered in order to make indeterminable issue solvable employing theory of statics and differential calculus. The computation of each static and dynamic pressure acting on ...
Ductility of Building Structures for Earthquake Resistant Design

Tuned Mass Damper – Components, Working and Applications
A tuned mass damper is a device mounted in structures to prevent discomfort, damage, or outright structural failure caused by vibration during earthquakes.
Structural Design Guidelines for Concrete and Steel Buildings
The structural design process of a complete construction project is divided into three phases Planning, Design, and Construction. The planning phase will consider the various factors that affect the layout and the dimension of the structure. Here, the decision is ...
