Earthquake Engineering for Structural Design E.M. Lui, W.F. Chen
Publisher: CRC Press

During the last few decades, earthquake engineering has undergone significant development. Through structural design, material selection, and construction techniques, engineers have tried to reduce the effect of earthquakes on buildings. OPERATION USA UNVEILS HAITI SCHOOL DESIGN DONATED BY GENSLER. Earthquake Engineering for Structural Design by W.F. The rethink is affecting not just new building design, but also earthquake-strengthening of existing buildings, says the associate professor in structural design and earthquake engineering at the University of Canterbury. Initially, structures were designed without considering seismic loading. Designed for senior-level and graduate courses in Dynamics of Structures and Earthquake Engineering. To resist earthquakes, properly designed and detailed structures must have structure's vertical load-carrying system are protected during a seismic event. Structures properly designed to resist the MCE should be able to resist earthquake ground motions of much lower magnitude (and therefore more frequent) with only minor damage.

This also allows structural engineers to engineer a structural system that has a more predictable response during a seismic event. Dr Helen Goldsworthy from the Department of Infrastructure Engineering discusses the need for a more cautious approach to structural design in Australia, following the Christchurch earthquake disaster.
