$37 per copy. Includes GST and delivery.

 

History has shown that earthquakes exploit the weakest link in structures. Studies of building performance during the Christchurch (2011), Kobe (1995) and Los Angeles (1994) earthquakes have highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of reinforced concrete in terms of both material, design and detailing.

 

The Seismic Design Guide assists Engineers with the primary aspects of practical seismic design and detailing for Australian conditions.

 

The Guide’s overall aim is to enable cost effective, simple design solutions by giving the designer the practical detailing information to efficiently determine requirements for the overall structural performance under seismic loadings.
