This book serves as a guide/handbook for the application of the 2nd generation Eurocode 8-3 for the assessment and retrofitting of buildings and bridges. The second-generation Eurocode 8 series has already been voted by the CEN member countries and is expected to supersede the existing ones in 2027. This book is the first on any part of EC8 and the first ever on Part 3, as there is no handbook on the first-generation Ec8-3. After an Introduction covering the scope and a brief history of the development of the Code, each chapter covers one of the main chapters (‘clauses’) of the Code, presenting the background of the provisions, explaining the way they should be implemented, and providing examples of actual design of structures (buildings and bridges) or members. The authors of the chapters are the people that actually drafted them and are all leading experts in their fields.

Über Autor(innen)

Andreas Kappos is a professor at Khalifa University (Abu Dhabi), where he is leading the Structures group of the Civil & Environmental Engineering Department. Previously, he held appointments at Imperial College and  at City, University of London, and at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. 
He is a world-leading researcher and consultant in the field of structural engineering, particularly bridges and seismic design of structures. He has long been working in this field on topics like analysis procedures for structures (buildings and bridges) subjected to earthquake loading, and developed several methods and models for seismic assessment (both deterministic and probabilistic) of these structures, as well as design procedures based on the use of modern analysis tools. He is the author or co-author of three books in English, and another two in Greek, edited four collective work volumes, and has contributed several chapters to books edited by others.
