Cimellaro G.P. et. al. (eds.) Computational Methods, Seismic Protection, Hybrid Testing and Resilience in Earthquake Engineering. A Tribute to the Research Contributions of Prof. Andrei Reinhorn

Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015, 329 pages.
The book wants to summarize the different research topics that Prof. Andrei
Reinhorn tackled during his career with all his Ph.D. students and the one that
he has inspired in other researchers from all over the world. Most of his research
topics overlap each other, and a clear separation between them is quite difficult to
be achieved, however we tried to organize the book in five main research parts
Computational methods
Experimental methods
Hybrid testing and control
Resilience-based Design
Seismic protection
ncludes three chapters describing the genesis of 3D-Basis and IDARC and
their impact on nonlinear dynamic analysis. It concludes with a novel method for
solving random eigenvalues problem.
describes experimental tests which were performed at Buffalo and in other
earthquake laboratories in the world.
ntroduces hybrid testing system and its application in developing hybrid
simulation methods.
ntroduces the concepts of resilience-based design and some applications
n health care facilities and economy.
describes different applications of seismic protection systems, such as
scously coupled shear walls, rocking systems, and the effect of nonlinear static
procedures on the Seismic Assessment of asymmetric plan buildings.
