Design of steel structures for buildings in seismic areas : Eurocode 8: Design of steel structures in seismic areas / Part 1-1. General rules and rules for buildings

This volume elucidates the design criteria and principles for steel structures under seismic loads according to Eurocode 8-1. Worked Examples illustrate the application of the design rules. Two case studies serve as best-practice samples.
