Seismic and Wind Design of Concrete Buildings 2021 IBC, ASCE/SEI 7-16

Authors S. K. Ghosh, Tavio, Hezha Sadraddin, and Daniel Christianto provide comprehensive coverage of seismic and wind design provisions and discuss the response of concrete buildings to earthquake and wind forces.

Application of the seismic and wind provisions is illustrated by designing and detailing typical structural members in buildings in areas of low, moderate and high seismic risk on different types of soil. Six chapters cover the design of office, residential, and school buildings using a variety of framing methods, as well as a precast parking structure.

Six chapters cover:

• Introduction to earthquake-resistant design and summaries of the seismic and wind design provisions of the 2021 IBC and ASCE/SEI 7-16.
• The design of an office building with a dual system and a moment-resisting frame system in the two orthogonal directions.
• The design of a residential building utilizing shear wall-frame interactive and building frame systems.
• The design of a school building with moment resisting frames.
• The design of a residential building with bearing wall system.
• The design of a precast parking structure.

This book is a practical reference for civil and structural engineers who want to learn quickly how to apply the 2021 IBC and ASCE/SEI 7-16 seismic and wind provisions to the design and detailing of reinforced concrete buildings. Educators and university students will find this publication to be a valuable resource because of the many worked-out design examples. Plan reviewers will find this publication helpful in understanding the application of code requirements for seismic and wind design and will refer to it frequently when plan checking concrete structures.
