Among the principal causes of failure in structural dynamic systems are exceedance of maximum structural systems design limit and structural fatigue failure. These processes are analyzed in this volume, and require sophisticated methods such as stochastic processes and their interactions with a structure as applied forces with stochastic description, finite element techniques, and other processes. Once these aspects are understood and applied, approaches to enhancing the reliability and damage tolerance of structural systems can be examined and applied to specific structural dynamic systems. This volume offers a comprehensive treatment of the issues and the sophisticated techniques involved and includes numerous illustrative examples.

Many high-rise buildings have been constructed in recent decades, particularly in Western Pacific Rim countries. Some examples of these include the Grand Gateway at Xi Hui and the Tomorrow Square, both in Shanghai, the Xiamen Post and Telecommunication Building in China, the Petronas (twin) Towers in Malaysia and the Shanghai World Financial Center. The last three are well over 1,000 feet in height, with the Petronas Towers measuring 1,483 feet tall and the Shanghai World Financial Center standing at 1,509 feet tall. While these certainly represent the ultimate challenges in the structural aspects of buildings, challenges remain in the structural aspects of buildings at various height. This volume is a comprehensive treatment of the issues and the advanced techniques involved in building and bridge structures. Numerous illustrative examples of the techniques involved are included.

Conventional seismic design has been based on structural strength in the initial design of structures, resulting in lateral force resisting systems with sufficient strength to be able to absorb and dissipate the seismic. For important structures such as urban high speed road systems, high rise buildings, hospitals, airports and other essential structures which must be quite functional after an earthquake, modern seismic structural design techniques have been developed with a view toward eliminating or significantly reducing seismic damage to such structures. This volume is a comprehensive treatment of the issues involved in modern seismic design techniques for structure with a view to significantly enhancing their capability of surviving earthquakes to an adequate degree, i.e., enhancing the ability of structural systems to withstand high level earthquakes.
