One of the most important and challenging missions of structural engineers may be to narrow the range of unexpected incidents in building structural design. Redundancy, robustness and resilience play an important role in such circumstances. \u003ci\u003eImproving the Earthquake Resilience of Buildings: The worst case approach\u003c\/i\u003e discusses the importance of worst-scenario approach for improved earthquake resilience of buildings and nuclear reactor facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eImproving the Earthquake Resilience of Buildings: The worst case approach\u003c\/i\u003e consists of two parts. The first part deals with the characterization and modeling of worst or critical ground motions on inelastic structures and the related worst-case scenario in the structural design of ordinary simple building structures. The second part of the book focuses on investigating the worst-case scenario for passively controlled and base-isolated buildings. This allows for detailed consideration of a range of topics including:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA consideration of damage of building structures in the critical excitation method for improved building-earthquake resilience, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA consideration of uncertainties of structural parameters in structural control and base-isolation for improved building-earthquake resilience, and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew insights in structural design of super high-rise buildings under long-period ground motions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eImproving the Earthquake Resilience of Buildings: The worst case approach\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable resource for researchers and engineers interested in learning and applying the worst-case scenario approach in the seismic-resistant design for more resilient structures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-08-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781447162353\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-4144-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 324\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49937982816396,"sku":"9781447162353","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781447162353.jpg?v=1779043358","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781447162353","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
