Fundamentals of Seismic Loading on Structures is organised into four major sections: introduction to earthquakes and related engineering problems, analysis, seismic loading, and design concepts.From a practical perspective, reviews linear and non–linear behaviour, introduces concepts of uniform hazard spectra, discusses loading provisions in design codes and examines soil–structure interaction issues, allowing the reader to quickly identify and implement information in a working environment.Discusses probabilistic methods that are widely employed in the assessment of seismic hazard, illustrating the use of Monte Carlo simulation with a number of worked examples.Summarises the latest developments in the field such as performance–based seismic engineering and advances in liquefaction research.
