He has published more than 450 papers, mainly on earthquake engineering, and received numerous awards for his research. M.J.Kowalsky Mervyn Kowalsky is Associate Professor of Structural Engineering in the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering at North Carolina State University and a member of the faculty of the ROSE School. G.M.Calvi Michele Calvi is Professor of the University of Pavia and Director of the Centre of Research and Graduate Studies in Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology (ROSE School), Istituto Universitario di Studi Superiori (IUSS) of Pavia. His research, which has largely focused on the seismic behaviour of structures, has been supported by the National Science Foundation, t

He has published more than 200 papers and is co-author of the book Seismic Design and Retrofit of Bridges , that is considered a standard text on the subject, has
Since much of the material presented in the book has not been published elsewhere, it will also be of considerable interest to researchers, and to graduate and upper-level undergraduate students of earthquake engineering who wish to develop a deeper understanding of how design can be used to control seismic response.. Displacement-Based Seismic Design of Structures is a book primarily directed towards practicing structural designers who are interested in applying performance-based concepts to seismic design
"The state of the art" according to Anselmo. This book is a bible for any structural designer having to do with earthquake resistant design today. This textbook convinces you from the start, it clearly explains why displacement based design is now a mature design method and is set to become the standard way of designing for earthquakes. Apart from that, the book is so elegantly written.. "Great book as usual!!" according to Chris Abela. This book is a must for practicing engineers, and graduate students interested in concrete structures. I have found this book to be an excellent reference for performing moment curvature analysis and force deflection plots. Furthermore, Dr. Priestley does an excellent job in comparing the current force design method, with a new displacement d. Great book despite price Mary O'Mahoney I recently graduated from a structural engineering grad program and found this book extremely useful for my research on PBD. The disk that accompanies the book is very useful however frustrating because the MATLAB code is for metric values.
