Drift-Driven Design of Buildings : Mete Sozen’s Works on Earthquake Engineering / Santiago Pujol, Ayhan Irfanoglu, Aishwarya Puranam
Publication year: 2022
: 9781032246574
Summarizes the most essential concepts that every engineer designing a new building or evaluating an existing structure should consider in order to control the damage caused by drift (deformation) induced by earthquakes. It presents the work on earthquake engineering done by Dr. Mete Sozen and dozens of his collaborators and students over decades of experimentation, analysis, and reconnaissance. Many of the concepts produced through this work are integral part of earthquake engineering today. Nevertheless, the connection between the concepts in use today and the original sources is not always explained.
