The proposed method has a sound theoretical basis and is expressed in a unified form applicable to all structural members, as well as their connections. It is applied in practice through the use of simple failure criteria derived from first principles without the need for calibration through the use of experimental data. The method is capable of predicting not only load-carrying capacity but also the locations and modes of failure, as well as safeguarding the structural performance code requirements. In this book, the concepts underlying the method are first presented for the case of simply supported RC beams. The application of the method is progressively extended so as to cover all common structural elements. For each structural element considered, evidence of the validity of the proposed method is presented together with design examples and comparisons with current code specifications. The method has been found to produce design solutions which satisfy the seismic performance requirements of current codes in all cases investigated to date, including structural members such as beams, columns, and walls, beam-to-beam or column-to-column connections, and beam-to-column joints. 410 0$aEngineering Materials,$x1612-1317 606 $aBuilding materials 606 $aStructural materials 606 $aBuildings?Design and construction 606 $aBuilding 606 $aConstruction 606 $aEngineering, Architectural 606 $aBuilding Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23047 606 $aStructural Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z11000 606 $aBuilding Construction and Design$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23012 615 0$aBuilding materials. 615 0$aStructural materials. 615 0$aBuildings?Design and construction. 615 0$aBuilding. 615 0$aConstruction. 615 0$aEngineering, Architectural. 615 14$aBuilding Materials. 615 24$aStructural Materials. 615 24$aBuilding Construction and Design. 676 $a693.54 700 $aKotsovos$b Michael D$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0542742 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299480103321 996 $aCompressive Force-Path Method$92174455 997 $aUNINA
