Seismic Design Of Building Structures, 11th Ed Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Seismic Design of Building Structures A Professional’s Introduction to Earthquake Forces and Design Details Eleventh EditionSeismic Design of Building Structures presents the seismic design concepts most essential to engineers, architects, and students of civil and structural engineering and architecture. The book’s 15 chapters provide a concise but thorough review of seismic theory, code application, design principles, and structural analysis. The 30 example problems demonstrate how to apply concepts, codes, and equations to solve realistic problems. More than 125 practice problems provide opportunities for independent problem-solving practice, and complete solutions allow you to check your solution approach. This book includes two comprehensive indexes—one of key terms and another of seismic building codes—to quickly direct you to the information you are looking for. You can also locate related support material by following references throughout the text to the 150 equations, 29 tables, 144 figures, and 16 appendices, and to relevant codes and standards. Topics Covered • Basic Seismology • Details of Seismic-Resistant Structures (Concrete, Masonry, Steel, Wood) • Diaphragm Theory • Earthquake Characteristics • Effects of Earthquakes on Structures • General Structural Design • Response of Structures • Seismic Building Code • Special Design Features • Tilt-Up Construction • Vibration Theory Referenced Codes and Standards • ACI 318 • ACI 530 • AISC 341 • AISC 360 • ASCE/SEI7 • IBC • NDS • SDPWD

As a practicing I have found Michael Lindeburg's book simply invaluable. It spans the lecture room and the design office effortlessly. Reading the first three chapters was akin to a refresher course in tectonic geology. If I had to say something less charitable it would probably be the need for more connection and joint details to address the horrific shear generated at these points. Lastly, the cost. To me its a tax deductible, but to students on a tight budget it can be a nightmare, comparable to ground acceleration of 5 g's.
The Seismic Design of Building Structures (11th Ed), is a book publishedby the Professional Publications, Inc (PPI) as a specialized reviewmanual and reference book for engineers or architects takingprofessional licensing exams. It is directed specifically at examineestaking the California Special Civil Seismic Principles Examination, theNCEES Structural Engineering Exam, and the Architect Registration Exam.The book is written by Michael Lindeburg and Kurt McMullin. MichaelLindeburg is also the author of the highly popular and incredibly usefulCivil Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Exam, an indispensabletool for the Civil Professional Engineering Exam it its own right. Thebook's pedigree was very encouraging.The book is divided into 15 chapters that build successively on previousones, beginning with the basic mechanics of earthquakes, adding groundacceleration spectra, earthquake effects on structures, structuralvibration theory, seismic response of buildings, then delves intobuilding code issues, including special detailing requirements. Thereis also a chapter dedicated to diaphragm theory, which is a topic thatis frequently not covered in general structural design textbooks. Anumber of appendices at the end include some useful tables selected fromother reference manuals (such as the NDS wood design code and ASCE 7) aswell as tables for proprietary metal connections for wood construction.Although the tables are helpful, it's important to know that they areincomplete--an examinee should have appropriate editions of ASCE 7 andthe IBC in order to make full use of this book, both for reference/studyand actually taking an examination.Throughout the chapters, a number of clear and concise figures areincluded to help the reader understand the concepts being presented.The book appears to be well written (for a textbook) and organized in avery logical fashion. It is, however, a broad overview of a wide arrayof topics pertaining to seismic design for buildings, with an emphasison its use as a study aid and an exam tool. That is to say that a morein-depth book may be needed for use as a practicing engineer, but thisbook does an excellent job of packing in a large amount of usefulinformation in a handy package.Although I have not used this particular book for PE exam preparation, Ican't say enough good things about Mr. Lindeberg's Civil EngineeringReference Manual, and would expect this book to be just as useful forthe California exam or Structural PE exam. It is important to note thatthis is a building-specific book, so another reference would be neededfor those planning to take the Structural PE exam with an emphasis inbridges.
This is text specifically tailored for anyone who will be taking the California Special Civil Seismic Principles Examination; nonetheless, it can also be a valuable resource for anyone preparing for the NCEES: SE exam. The first four chapters address the basics of earthquakes and vibration theory. For many, this will be a basic review (but do not mistake "basic" for "wasteful." Many test-takers neglect to review the basics and find themselves faced with simple questions that they can no longer answer with assurance. So, please do review these sections with care). The chapters which follow address standard structural designs as well as seismic-resistant structures of various materials.There are numerous, invaluable examples and problems in each chapter. The solutions to each are provided in the back of the text (in detail). Of equal importance, each illustration/figure is abundantly clear (leaving no question as to its purpose of degree of value). The editor and publisher has done their due diligence (ensuring that all readers will genuinely benefit from this text).Of equal value are the appendices. This area is both extensive and phenomenal for fast reference.While the price of the text is somewhat daunting, this is considerably less expensive than an online review course. Therefore, if one is self-motivated and talented (and anyone taking this exam, most assuredly, is), this text is a cost-efficient, (potentially) equally as beneficial alternative.Purchase this text and feel more confident/prepared for this exam. You will never regret it.
You can't go too wrong using this book (but not JUST this book) to pass the California Civil Professional Engineering Exam. After buying this book you better get a ppi2pass account, as suggested in the book itself, which you'll need to access any errata. At this point in time, this 11th edition of SEISMIC DESIGN OF BUILDING STRUCTURES has no errata listed at the publisher's site.Ok, so why only 4 stars? You should probably get a (now out of print) copy of Steven Hiner's Seismic Design Review Workbook: For the California Civil Professional Engineering Examination. You'll need this (Lindeburg/McMullin) book because it's more up to date regarding codes, etc. than Hiner, but Hiner is gold.Also, take the author's advice and get copies of the 2015 International Building Code (IBC) as well as Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, 3rd Printing (Standard ASCE/SEI 7-10). You can't avoid referencing these two in the exam (and you probably already know that).After spending all that money on all of those, you BETTER pass the exam!Really hard to review books like this because their scope is so narrow and focused. After all of that, this is actually pretty interesting material (assuming you don't have passing a PE Exam hanging like the sword of Damocles over your head). Lindeburg and McMullin's 11th edition of this book is unavoidably indispensable. I just wish Hiner would put out a new edition of his book!
