Seismic Isolation for Designers and Structural Engineers

For an earthquake prone country, designing of buildings are approached using structurally advanced technology. One of these is seismic isolation. This book "Seismic Isolation for Designers and Structural Engineers" provides both theory and design aspects of seismic isolation.

Mr. Kelly has over thirty years professional experience in the design and analysis of a variety
of structures, with particular emphasis on the non-linear response of structures to seismic
loading, the earthquake evaluation of existing buildings and the application of base isolation
and energy dissipation techniques to a variety of structural types.

Japan which is also an earthquake prone country uses this technology and they were able to resist several earthquakes in the past. Truly, this book is a good reference.
