Paperback : £48.50
Design of Wind and Earthquake Resistant Reinforced Concrete Buildings explains wind and seismic design issues of RCC buildings in brief and provides design examples based on recommendations of latest IS codes essential for industrial design. Intricate issues of RCC design are discussed which are supplemented by real-life examples. Guidelines are presented for evaluating the acceptability of wind-induced motions of tall buildings. Design methodologies for structures to deform well beyond their elastic limits, which is essential under seismic excitation, have been discussed in detail. Comparative discussion including typical design examples using recent British, Euro and American codes is also included.
Features:
Explains wind and earthquake resistant design issues, balancing theoretical aspects and design implications, in detail
Discusses issues for designing the wind and earthquake resistant RCC structures
Provides comprehensive understanding, analysis, design and detailing of the structures
Includes a detailed discussion on IS code related to wind and earthquake resistant design and its comparison with Euro, British and American codes
Contains architectural drawings and structural drawings
The book is aimed at researchers, professionals, graduate students in wind and earthquake engineering, design of RCC structures, modelling and analysis of structures, civil/infrastructure engineering.

Somnath Ghosh is serving as a Professor in the department of
Civil Engineering Department at Jadavpur University in West Bengal,
India. He was Dean of Engineering faculty and Head of Civil
Engineering department at Jadavpur University. Dr. Ghosh did his
B.E. in Civil Engineering from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, and
M.Tech and Ph.D from IIT Kharagpur. He is a member and chattered
engineer of the Institute of Structural Engineers (UK). He has done
research in USA and Australia. He has delivered invited lecture in
UK, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and USA. He has also
delivered a huge number of lectures as resource person in different
IITs, NITs and Universities. He has served as an expert member on
several occasions for many institutes and universities. He has
served as member of several high-powered committees in AICTE, UGC,
CSIR, UPSC etc. and at Jadavpur university level. He has
contributed significantly in the area of Structural Engineering and
material. He has also been a structural consultant to a number of
key projects at the national level. Based on his research works,
Dr. Ghosh has published a number of papers in peer reviewed
national and international journals and six monographs. Apart from
his research activities, Dr. Ghosh has demonstrated his technical
skill by providing advice on industrial problems and these have
been implemented successfully. The repair and restoration
techniques adopted for the earthquake damaged structures of Kandla
SEZ through his expertise deserve special mention. His other
noteworthy contribution is the restoration of earthquake damaged
assembly building in Sikkim. Besides, his skill in computer-aided
structural analysis has been demonstrated through the design of a
52-metre tall Buddha statue atop a hill at Namchi, Sikkim, and a
cricket stadium at Guwahati, Assam. His earlier selection as
country head of a division in Setrco Nigeria Ltd, a multinational
company in Nigeria, speaks volumes about his administrative as well
as academic skill and expertise. In this capacity he was
responsible for looking after geotechnical and quality control
activity of highways, bridges and buildings.
