A concise summary of practical methods that provides insight for earthquake safety in construction. Krinitzsky and colleagues examine procedures and recommend solutions for the complex engineering dynamics problems originating from earthquake forces. The authors, highly respected in the earthquake engineering community, present this guide for identifying how earthquake ground motions should be considered in the design of differing levels of safety in construction. Additionally, the needs for differing categories of engineering analysis are also noted. This book, not a text for undergraduate or graduate-level earthquake engineering courses is, rather, a practical design guide for use in an engineering design office, for those already reasonably familiar with the fundamentals of earthquake engineering.
