5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Technical Book, January 28, 2001

Parvin Bakhoda (LA, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 345 Solved Seismic Design Problems, 4th Edition (Paperback)

I found this book very informative. All key information related to seismic principles and UBC seismic codes are well presented and easy to understand.

I highly recommend this book to all Civil Engineers. Also the other two books Mr. Baradar authored: Seismic Principles Practice Exams and Seismic Design of Building Structures should be on everyone's library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have Book, March 11, 2002

Steve Browski (Santa Monica, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 345 Solved Seismic Design Problems, 4th Edition (Paperback)

I admit that learning seismic principles and UBC codes were the most difficult task in my civil engineering field. However, by studying this book in conjuction with Lindeburg and Baradar's Seismic Design of Building Structures, and using the other Baradar's book "seismic principles exams", I prepared myself for the CA Special Seismic Exam very well. Although I had no seismic background, these books assisted me to become a professional civil engineer by passing the seismic portion of the P.E. exam on the first try. I highly recommend this book as a must have book as a study aid.

4.0 out of 5 stars 345 Seismic Problems- Review, April 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 345 Solved Seismic Design Problems (Paperback)

This book is a must as a preparation tool for the Special Civil Engineering Seismic Exam. The book's Introduction covers the Seismic Principles Test Plan and it's broken down into chapters covering the different exam testing areas with plenty of practice problems within each chapter. This 3rd edition covers the 1994 UBC.

The problems are pretty repetitive and cookie-cutter. If you know ASCE 7 and how to do flexible diaphragms, book is kind of useless. Read more

This book is not useful at all. There are much better books available for seismic design. Don't waste your time and money with this one.
