Synopsis:

This book aims to serve as an essential reference to facilitate civil engineers involved in the design of new conventional (ordinary) reinforced concrete (R/C) buildings regulated

by the current European EC8 (EN 1998-1:2004) and EC2 (EN 1992-1-1:2004) codes

of practice. The book provides unique step-by-step flowcharts which take the reader

through all the required operations, calculations, and verification checks prescribed by

the EC8 provisions. These flowcharts are complemented by comprehensive discussions

and practical explanatory comments on critical aspects of the EC8 code-regulated

procedure for the earthquake resistant design of R/C buildings. Further, detailed

analysis and design examples of typical multi-storey three-dimensional R/C buildings

are included to illustrate the required steps for achieving designs of real-life structures which comply with the current EC8 provisions. These examples can be readily used as verification tutorials to check the reliability of custom-made computer programs and of commercial Finite Element software developed/used for the design of earthquake

resistant R/C buildings complying with the EC8 (EN 1998-1:2004) code.

Th

is book will be of interest to practitioners working in consulting and designing

engineering companies and to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate level civil

engineering students attending cours

es and curricula in the earthquake resistant design

of structures and/or undertaking pertinent design projects.
