This open access book is an efficient and economic approach for mitigating the seismic damage
of low-rise buildings. This book presents various aspects of SB structures including their
fundamentals dynamic analysis procedures seismic response characteristics design methods
and practical applications. It contains a comprehensive study on the influence of various
structural and ground motion characteristics on the responses of SB structures which is
particularly helpful for the readers to fully understand the behavior of SB structures.
Researchers and engineers in the field of structural engineering and earthquake engineering
will benefit from this book.
