Textbook of Seismic Design: Structures, Piping Systems, and Components
暫譯: 地震設計教科書：結構、管道系統與組件

本書專注於結構、管道系統及組件（SSC）的抗震設計。它解釋了地震的基本機制、設計基準地面運動的產生以及結構動力學的基本原理；此外，還深入探討與地震設計相關的土木工程方面、多自由度系統的分析，以及鋼筋混凝土結構和鋼結構的抗震設計。本書討論了位於地面及結構不同樓層的組件和管道系統的設計。它還涵蓋了組件和管道系統的錨固設計，並介紹了加固、抗震反應控制（包括抗震基礎隔離）以及SSC的測試。本書以易於理解的方式撰寫，並在每個主題上提供了複習問題、案例研究和詳細範例。這種教育方法使本書在教室和專業培訓課程中對學生、研究人員和專業人士都非常有用。

G R Reddy is a Senior Professor at Homi Bhabha National Institute, Teacher for Ph.Ds, in University of Mumbai and Outstanding Scientist at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai. His research expertise is in the areas of structural dynamics and earthquake engineering. He has contributed in developing simple numerical modeling techniques for complex structures, structure-equipment interaction due to earthquakes, stochastic methods of analysis, dynamic sub-structuring techniques etc. He was involved in developing seismic hazards at various sites of nuclear facilities. He has mastered seismic response control methods and developed passive response control devices including seismic base isolators which will eliminate snubbers in nuclear facilities and reduce the initial cost, maintenance cost and improve the safety. He has developed simple seismic design procedures for equipment and piping supported on hysteretic supports. As a part of developing more realistic design procedures, he has performed large number of experiments on beam-column joints, frames and piping systems till collapse. He was involved in developing methodology for seismic margins assessment in piping systems and structures. For the purpose of life extension of the existing facilities, he has evolved methods for performing seismic retrofitting of structures using dampers, FRP, steel jacketing. He contributed significantly in analysis and design/requalification/retrofit of structures, piping systems and components of old and new nuclear facilities. In addition he contributed in the design of a 30 m antenna for the Chandrayan project and of a large-scale gamma ray telescope. He has regularly given lectures on vibrations and earthquake engineering in training schools of Department of Atomic Energy, involved in IS &departmental seismic code committees. He guided large number of M.Tech and PhD students and has authored more than 500 research publications.
