Book Description
Seismic design requirements for nonstructural building components of five major building codes, including the 1994 Uniform Bldg. Code, the 1994 Standard Bldg. Code, the 1994 NEHRP Recommended Provisions for Seismic Regulations for New Buildings, the New Zealand Bldg. Code, and the Japanese Bldg. Code, were reviewed in this study. Comparisons of codes reveal wide variation in seismic force and displacement requirements, both in terms of levels of stringency and levels of details. The difference in seismic force requirements between the most and least stringent codes can be more than five times.

Elements of Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics
Author: André Filiatrault
Publisher: Presses inter Polytechnique
ISBN: 2553016492
Category : Buildings
Languages : en
Pages : 876
Book Description
"In order to reduce the seismic risk facing many densely populated regions worldwide, including Canada and the United States, modern earthquake engineering should be more widely applied. But current literature on earthquake engineering may be difficult to grasp for structural engineers who are untrained in seismic design. In addition no single resource addressed seismic design practices in both Canada and the United States until now. Elements of Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics was written to fill the gap. It presents the key elements of earthquake engineering and structural dynamics at an introductory level and gives readers the basic knowledge they need to apply the seismic provisions contained in Canadian and American building codes."--Résumé de l'éditeur.

Blast Mitigation for Structures
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309171865
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 85
Book Description
The Blast Mitigation for Structures Program (BMSP) is a research and development activity conducted by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) to improve the performance of buildings that are targets of terrorist attack. The primary goal of the BMSP is to reduce loss of life and injuries to the occupants of these buildings through the development of innovative techniques for new structures and retrofitting existing facilities. The committee's findings and recommendations are contained in this initial assessment report.

State-of-the-art Report on Seismic Design of Building Equipment and Nonstructural Components in Japan
Author: Masaya Hirosawa
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Buildings
Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
Recently in Japan, in the event of an earthquake, more investigations have been made into damage to building equipment, furniture and nonstructural components such as interior and exterior finishing and nonstructural walls rather than structural members, and there have been not a few reports on the analysis of such damage. Accompanied by this trend, seismic design guidelines for nonstructural components have been prepared under the supervision of the administrative organizations concerned and some of the guidelines have been used for actual construction. In this paper, we survey damage to these nonstructural components and members used for construction and introduce various related guidelines which have recently been prepared to reveal their goals and other principal contents.
