Classification and Evaluation of Earthquake Records for Design

One of the most difficult questions that the designer of earthquake resistant structures must address is the determination of the critical earthquake. This is the earthquake ground motion which will drive the structure being designed to its critical response. This study provides processed data which will help the design engineer address this problem by identification of the severity & damage potential of components of a large database containing 1,500 records of earthquake ground motion. Over 100 charts & tables.Naeim, Farzad is the author of 'Classification and Evaluation of Earthquake Records for Design', published 1994 under ISBN 9780788108778 and ISBN 0788108778.
