ISBN: 9535101234
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 540
Book Description
This book deals with earthquake-resistant structures, such as, buildings, bridges and liquid storage tanks. It contains twenty chapters covering several interesting research topics written by researchers and experts in the field of earthquake engineering. The book covers seismic-resistance design of masonry and reinforced concrete structures to be constructed as well as safety assessment, strengthening and rehabilitation of existing structures against earthquake loads. It also includes three chapters on electromagnetic sensing techniques for health assessment of structures, post earthquake assessment of steel buildings in fire environment and response of underground pipes to blast loads. The book provides the state-of-the-art on recent progress in earthquake-resistant structures. It should be useful to graduate students, researchers and practicing structural engineers.

Book Description
Rapid advances have been made during the past few decades in earthquake response modification technologies for structures, most notably in base isolation and energy dissipation systems. Many practical applications of various dampers can be found worldwide and, in the United States, damper design has been included in building codes. The current desi
Design, Analysis, and Seismic Performance of a Hypothetical Seismically Isolated Bridge on Legacy Highway

Book Description
The need to maintain the functionality of critical transportation lifelines after a large seismic event motivates the strategy to design certain bridges for performance standards beyond the minimum required by bridge design codes. To design a bridge to remain operational, one may stiffen and strengthen the load carrying members to increase the capacity, or alternatively use response modification devices such as seismic isolators to shift the dynamic characteristics of the bridge, henceforth reducing the seismic demands. Seismic isolation systems are attractive because they are directly conducive to accelerated bridge construction techniques. The two strategies are compared for a typical Utah highway bridge, using a three-span, pre-stressed concrete girder bridge that crosses Legacy Highway as a case study example.

Book Description
Prepared by the Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center (HITEC), a CERF Service Center. This report summarizes the results of a detailedØevaluation of base isolation elastomeric bearings,Ømanufactured by Skellerup. The report is part of a program to test the performance of 11 seismic isolators and dampers produced by several manufacturers. The devicesØwere tested for stability, response during earthquake simulations, and fatigue and weathering effects.
