A careful theoretical approach to earthquake engineering design, soon will become a standard reference book for the academic as well as the practising engineer. The part dealing with load bearing masonry construction is a clasic!

Superb text, even in 2006. Must-have reference for seismic design of reinforced concrete structures. Contains good depth of info on shear wall design not available in more elementary texts.

If buying used, ask reseller to verify that the book has pages 713 onward (which includes, but is not limited to all references and index) before buying. Apparently, Wiley had a bad run.

This is an important book to all the structural engineers that will work in seismic areas.

A must have text/reference book for the structural engineering library. Great resources in topics ranging from concete shear wall design to masonry shear wall design. Highly recomended.

As graduate student completing my Master's degree I thought this book is very useful for anyone who is doing research in the area of earthquake engineering in general. It goes in depth in many topics covering seismic design of structural components and systems of reinforced concrete and masonry. I will consider it an advance level text book. So if you a grad student doing research in seismic design or working in a seismic design firm I recommend buying the book.
