(Emphasizes actual structural design, not analysis, of mul...)
Emphasizes actual structural design, not analysis, of multistory buildings for seismic resistance. Strong emphasis is placed on specific detailing requirements for construction. Fundamental design principles are presented to create buildings that respond to a wide range of potential seismic forces, which are illustrated by numerous detailed examples. The discussion includes the design of reinforced concrete ductile frames, structural walls, dual systems, reinforced masonry structures, buildings with restricted ductility and foundation walls. In addition to the examples, full design calculations are given for three prototype structures.

University of Canterbury.
Trained as chemical engineer, after fleeing Hungary to West Germany, Paulay arrived in New Zealand in 1951. In 1961, he joined the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Canterbury, where he spent many years studying the seismic behaviour and design of structures. In the 1986 Queen"s Birthday Honours, Paulay was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, for services to civil engineering.
