Summary

An unexpected brittle failure of connections and of members occurred during the last earthquakes of Northridge and Kobe. This prompted the European Union sponsored research project, INCO-Copernicus to investigateMoment Resistant Connections of Steel Frames inSeismic Areas. This book, the published results of the project is a must have for engineers who want to be at the cutting edge of design in seismic areas.

Author Biography

Federico m. Mazzolani is Professor of Structural Engineering, at the Department of Structural Analysis and Design, The University of Naples 'Federico II', Italy. He previously served as the convener of the RECOS project.
