Impressive engineering advances have occurred that can curb the impact of seismic events on residential properties, commercial edifices, architectural heritage, and infrastructure. Written by a university professor with decades of on-site experience, Construction of Earthquake-Resistant Concrete and Steel Structures offers up-to-date information and technical competence with the aim of supporting understanding of fundamental concepts for concrete and steel structures, shell elements, and reinforcement detailing. The volume is an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and early-career practicing professionals to also learn about construction issues and how to solve practical challenges while ensuring that building codes (ACI, AISC, ANSI, ASCE, RCSC, and many more) and design standards' requirements are upheld. Presents readers with guidance on detailing techniques as well as theoretical and practical insights into the construction of concrete and steel structural elements. Includes the author's own previously unpublished photosets from real-life projects. Each chapter concludes with supplementary questions that are a useful tool to test knowledge and/or revise
