Seismic Design Aids for Nonlinear Analysis of Reinforced Concrete StructuresAuthor(s): Srinivasan Chandrasekaran, Luciano Nunziante, Giorgio Serino, Federico Carannante\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9780367385361, 978-0367385361\nSynopsis\nNonlinear analysis methods such as static pushover or limit analysis until collapse are globally considered reliable tools for seismic and structural assessment. But the accuracy of seismic capacity estimateswhich can prevent catastrophic loss of life and astronomical damage repair costsdepends on the use of the correct basic input parameters. \n\nTools to Safeguard New Buildings and Assess Existing Ones\n\nSeismic Design Aids for Nonlinear Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures simplifies the estimation of base structural parameters and enables accurate evaluation of proper bounds for the safety factor. Many design engineers make the relatively common mistake of using defai
