FEMA 356 - Does Exist some design Handbook?
(OP)
I have to design by FEMA 356 approach following LDP.
I am Italian engeneer an usually use the EC8 approach.
Does exist a Design Handbook (with examples) coherent with FEMA356? ... or helpfull links
My problem is to combine the different actions (M, N and V)... using force controlled method or displaicement controlled method.
I hope you can help me...
thank you

Please note that FEMA 356 has been superseded by American Society of
Civil Engineers [ASCE] 41, Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings.
Also - look here for 356:
FEMA 356
And here for ASCE 41:
ASCE 41-06
RE: FEMA 356 - Does Exist some design Handbook?
But i'd like to find a book that explaines, with examples (a andbook), a FEMA or ASCE41-06 approach which permit to understand like evaluating an existing building.
Do you know some similar book ?
thank you

Here is a link to a webpage:
http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/DHS/fema451.pdf
Try this website for a pdf file of the fiollowing publication:
NEHRP Recommended Provisions: Design Examples FEMA 451 - August 2006.
This is a fairly comprehensive set of examples for applying the seismic provisions in FEMA 450 (that is the update to FEMA 356.)
Caution: the examples in this book are a little hard to follow because they have two sets of references to the FEMA provisions, one set that refers to FEMA 356 and a second set of references that refer to FEMA 450.
