Comprehensive Guide on Seismic Design for the California Civil Seismic Principles Exam California Civil Seismic Building Design, 12th Edition presents the seismic design concepts most essential to engineers, architects, and students of civil and structural engineering and architecture. The book’s 15 chapters provide a concise but thorough review of seismic theory, code application, design principles, and structural ysis. Topics Covered Basic Seismology Details of Seismic-Resistant Structures (Concrete, Masonry, Steel, Wood) Diaphragm Theory Earthquake Characteristics Effects of Earthquakes on Structures General Structural Design Response of Structures Seismic Building Code Special Design Features Tilt-Up Construction Vibration Theory Referenced Codes and Standards AISC 341 AISC 360 ACI 318 ACI 530 NDS SDPWD ASCE/SEI7 IBC Key Features 30 example problems demonstrate how to apply concepts, codes, and equations to solve realistic problems More than 125 practice problems provide opportunities for independent problem-solving practice, and complete solutions allow you to check your solution approach Two comprehensive indexes—one of key terms and another of seismic building codes—to quickly direct you to the information you are looking for References throughout the text to the 150 equations, 29 tables, 144 figures, and 21 appendices, and to relevant codes and standards Binding: Paperback Publisher: PPI, A Kaplan Company Review: excelente - excelente entrega Review: Excellent coverage of Seismic Building Design - Excellent coverage of seismic design, from basic seismology and theory, practical code applications, design of members, connections and detailing, and great worked-through examples. Highly recommend for a structural engineer needing to move from graduate-level theoretical seismic analysis, to understand the real-world applications of earthquake loading for building design, which few university courses cover.

This Book references an outdated version of the IBC
Cannot use this book as a reference for the California Seismic Exam! The book, while published in 2019, references the 2015 IBC. The exam references the 2018 IBC, so some of the tables and sample problems, which are based on the tables, are incorrect. PPI posted the errata (50 pages) for this book, but you're better off finding another reference book.
