Impact of Long-Period Ground Motions on Structural Design: A Case Study for Bucharest, Romania

This book discusses the impact of long-period ground motions on structural design using the situation in Bucharest, the capital city of Romania, as a case study. The first part explores the seismic hazard situation in Bucharest, and the causes of long-period ground motions related to both the source...
