The structural optimization procedure presented in this book makes it possible to achieve seismic protection through integrated structural/control system design
Earthquakes remain largely unpredictable and potentially catastrophic, a matter of continuous concern to communities in affected zones. Scientists and engineers
A typical engineering task during the development of any system is, among others, to improve its performance in terms of cost and response. Improvements can be
Seismic Evaluation, Damage, and Mitigation in Structures covers recent developments in the field of seismic performance assessment of structures. Earthquakes ar
While numerous books have been written on earthquakes, earthquake resistance design, and seismic analysis and design of structures, none have been tailored for
