520 |a "This book provides both theory and design aspects of seismic isolation. This will be useful for structural engineers and teachers of engineering courses. For other structural components (concrete frames, steel braces etc.) the engineering student is taught the theory (lateral loads, bending moments) but then also the design (how to select sizes, detail reinforcing, bolts). This book will do the same for seismic engineering. The book provides practical examples of computer applications as well as device design examples so that the structural engineer is able to do a preliminary design that won't specify impossible constraints. The book also addresses the steps that need to be taken to ensure the design is code compliant"--Publisher's website.
