About The Book
Earthquake-Resistant Structures by Mohiuddin Ali Khan is a comprehensive guide aimed at structural engineers working to design buildings, bridges, dams, and other infrastructure to withstand seismic forces. The book presents advanced seismic design and retrofitting techniques for a wide range of structures, including low and high-rise buildings, multi-span bridges, dams, and nuclear facilities. Drawing on case studies from across the globe, including the USA, Russia, Japan, Turkey, India, China, New Zealand, and Pakistan, Khan compares various seismic-resistant techniques and explains the latest theories, design applications, and code provisions.
The text is written with the practical needs of engineers in mind, offering tools and information to improve current building and bridge design practices and ensure greater sustainability during and after seismic events. By combining physical and geophysical science with structural engineering, the book equips professionals with the knowledge needed to enhance disaster preparedness and mitigation in seismic-prone areas.
