Structural system analysis and design for safe house

The observation of post-earthquakes damages on reinforced concrete buildings has clearly shown that the presence of nonstructural elements, such as infill walls, may significantly affect the seismic performance of buildings. The study describes the analysis and design, the engineering process the ne...
