"Following a brief overview of the battering forces of nature, Wind and Earthquake Resistant Buildings: Structural Analysis and Design provides structural engineers with a uniquely practical perspective on all aspects of steel, concrete and composite use in the design of buildings including wind effects and seismic design." "Using numerous examples and illustration, Dr. Taranath demonstrates how to execute virtually all the recent methods and ideas for creating cost-efficient designs. Comprehensive, systematic, and thoroughly graspable, this fundamental resource offers engineers at all levels of experience the tools they need to formulate structural systems that address the specific needs of project clients."--Jacket.
