Proposed Protocol for Evaluating Potential Strength-reducing Characteristics in Lumber After a Catastrophic Event
Author: Conroy Lum

ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
The objective of this study is to develop a protocol for evaluating and responding to potential strength-reducing characteristics that develop in lumber from stands following a regional catastrophic event. This new protocol is intended to be distinct from the standardized lumber testing programs that are in place to support the development of structural design values. Under this two-year project, a general protocol has been drafted and a limited pilot study was undertaken to demonstrate its efficacy by using shake in post mountain pine beetle (MPB)-killed lodgepole pine lumber as an example. This protocol provides guidance on the identification of suitable characteristics for study, the design of an exploratory survey for assessing frequency of appearance, the approach for collecting samples for strength testing, the analysis of the test results, and, if necessary, the development of supplementary grading rules to respond to possible impacts to the lumber strength from these characteristics.--Document.

Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation
Author: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107025060
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 593
Book Description
Extreme weather and climate events, interacting with exposed and vulnerable human and natural systems, can lead to disasters. This Special Report explores the social as well as physical dimensions of weather- and climate-related disasters, considering opportunities for managing risks at local to international scales. SREX was approved and accepted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on 18 November 2011 in Kampala, Uganda.

Rapid Visual Screening of Buildings for Potential Seismic Hazards: Supporting Documentation
Author:
Publisher: Government Printing Office
ISBN: 9780160926754
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
The Rapid Visual Screening (RVS) handbook can be used by trained personnel to identify, inventory, and screen buildings that are potentially seismically vulnerable. The RVS procedure comprises a method and several forms that help users to quickly identify, inventory, and score buildings according to their risk of collapse if hit by major earthquakes. The RVS handbook describes how to identify the structural type and key weakness characteristics, how to complete the screening forms, and how to manage a successful RVS program.
