Chapters 1 and 3 dealt with general and specifi c aspects, respectively, of the ' Demand ' imposed by
earthquakes on structures. On the other hand, Chapters 2 and 4 dealt with general and specifi c issues,
respectively, of 'Supply' or 'Capacity' for action and deformation resistance of structures subjected to
earthquakes. It provides comprehensive tools for the construction of analytical models of varying
degrees of complexity and for the defi nition of forcing functions of varying degrees of detail that should
be imposed on the analytical models, with the aim of obtaining reliable estimates of response. In the
simplest applications, the topic provides suffi cient guidance for the construction of a lumped-parameter
single-degree-of-freedom structure subjected to a static force representing the earthquake action. It also
provides, in the same level of detail, guidance to construct fi bre - based detailed fi nite element idealiza-
tions of complex structures subjected to time-varying ground excitation records. All practical scenarios
between the above two extremes are also catered for. Throughout the topic, simple examples are used
to provide guidance on the application of the described fundamental methods and models. A specifi c
building is used as a threading example that links the various load and structure modelling issues of
Chapter 4, the closing chapter. The set of summary slides and additional worked examples are an asset
for graduate education.
The authors hope that their approach for discussing earthquake engineering in the context of supply
and demand, projected in triads of return periods, engineering limit states and performance objectives,
will appeal to both educators and graduate students as it has appealed through the years to a wide variety
of students at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign, USA.
