Differences in the codes are particularly noted for high piers with large ground acceleration. Fundamental reasons for these differences are discussed and numerical evaluations are presented. A second volume will follow and will cover the records of discussions and the main elements of the four codes. Earthquake-Resistant Design of Masonry Buildings . Intended for practicing engineers and students, this textbook presents the information needed for earthquake-resistant design of masonry buildings using traditional systems.
Chapters contain detailed illustrations and reference lists.
