An approximate method to estimate floor acceleration demands in multistory buildings
responding elastically or practically elastic when subjected to earthquake ground motion is …

First published in 1995, the award-winning Civil Engineering Handbook soon became
known as the field's definitive reference. To retain its standing as a complete, authoritative …

Most seismic codes specify empirical formulas to estimate the fundamental vibration period
of buildings. Evaluated first in this paper are the formulas specified in present US codes …

Continuing the tradition of the best-selling Handbook of Structural Engineering, this second
edition is a comprehensive reference to the broad spectrum of structural engineering …

A simplified method to estimate lateral acceleration demands in high‐rise buildings
subjected to earthquakes is presented. In the proposed method acceleration demands are …

Empirical estimates of the fundamental frequency of tall buildings vary inversely with their
height, a dependency not exhibited by the various familiar models of beam behavior. This …

A hand method of estimating the period of free vibration of building structures, for use in
determining the minimum base shear for their earthquake design, is presented. The method …

Global Structural Analysis of Buildings is a practical reference on the design and
assessment of building structures which will help the reader to check the safety and overall …

In this paper an approximate earthquake analysis is presented for multistory building
structures. The building is stiffened by an arbitrary combination of lateral load-resisting …

In most seismic building codes, the design base acceleration is computed using the natural
period of vibration of the structure. Design specifications provide empirical formula to …
