There is a broad zone extending south from Alaska through western South America that is particularly susceptible to severe earthquakes. Buildings erected in this zone should be earthquake resistant. This book, the second of three volumes, is a treatise on the design and construction of low-rise masonry buildings for such earthquake zones. The first volume covers general earthquake engineering. The third volume will cover high-rise buildings. This volume has a wider application than its title indicates; it could serve as a textbook for a course on the design of reinforced concrete buildings. The introductory chapter surveys the subject of building design and describes the design philosophy of the authors. This is followed by chapters on material properties, structural mechanics, modeling, strength design, design criteria development, and design case studies. One appendix contains an extensive treatment of strength reduction factors for concrete, and another contains a bibliography of over 70 items.
