Download or read book Planning for Seismic Rehabilitation written by Eugene Zeller and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1999-11 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acquaints users with typical problems unrelated to design and construction processes that might arise when planning or engaging in seismic rehab. projects and programs. Alerts readers to the difficulties inherent in implementing seismic rehab. recommendations. Emphasizes 2 basic user-oriented concepts. The first is a process that outlines a set of decision points so the user can determine whether seismic rehab. efforts are needed &, if so, their potential scope. The 2nd offers a simple "escalation ladder" to help users understand the degree of conflict inherent in and the implications of choosing what, if any, seismic rehab. strategies to follow.
Download or read book A Benefit Cost Analysis For The Seismic Rehabilitation On Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings in zmir written by Mert Boylu and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aegean is one of the most seismically active regions of Turkey. The Eqarthquake disasters which occurred in Turkey recently, obligate the seismic rehabilitation of existing buildings and the new construction projects produced to require well-detailed seismic strengthing. On the other hand, before starting an expensive project such as seismic rehabilitation, a benefit/cost analysis is needed to determine whether the proposed project is economically feasible. In this study, a benefit/cost analysis model for the seismic rehabilitation of existing reinforced concrete buildings in Izmir is presented. To express the seismicity of Izmir City, between 1900-2003, the magnitude of Ms 4.9 earthquakes which occurred in Izmir and its vicinity are used as data. The Poisson Model is used to calculate the probability of occurrence. For the seismic risk of Izmir which includes damage to buildings and loss, various damage estimation methods are described. As a generalization of all of the existing reinforced concrete buildings in Izmir Region, two existing reinforced concrete buildings with total building area of 735 square meters and 716 square meters, respectively, which have different social functions, are chosen to estimate whether the seismic rehabilitations of the investigated buildings are economically justified. As a result of the analysis, benefit/cost ratios of both structures are found greater than one which means both rehabilitation projects are economically feasible.
Download or read book Policy Guide to Steel Moment Frame Construction written by William J. Hall and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2008-07 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to the 1994 Northridge and 1995 Kobe earthquakes, engineers believed that steel moment-frames would bend under earthquake loading, but not break. As a result, this became one of the most common types of construction used for major bldgs. in areas subject to severe earthquakes. The discovery of the potential for fracturing in these frames called to question the adequacy of the building code provisions dealing with this type of construction and created a crisis of confidence. In response, FEMA issued this policy guide to provide a non-technical summary of valuable information, an understanding of the risk associated with steel moment-frame buildings, and the practical measures that can be taken to reduce this risk. Illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Mitigation Directorate with 25 recommended tasks that should be undertaken through the agency's Existing Buildings Program (EBP) in the coming years. The EBP's expanded but continuing mission in seismic rehabilitation is to limit fatalities, life-threatening injuries, & property & economic losses from earthquakes by increasing the number of seismically resistant buildings in all areas of identified earthquake risk. Identifies 4 objectives & 25 tasks to help make our building stock less vulnerable to earthquake damage. Seeks to provide the continuity necessary for an effective Existing Buildings Program.
Download or read book Promoting the Adoption and Enforcement of Seismic Building Codes written by Robert B. Olshansky and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides background information and educational materials to help state officials promote the adoption and enforcement of state and local model building codes that contain the latest seismic provisions. These codes can reduce the damage that will occur when future earthquakes strike at-risk parts of the country. It is intended for state earthquake program managers and hazard mitigation officers in the emergency management agencies of the states and territories prone to earthquakes. It is designed to help you convince your state and local governments that codes are effective, inexpensive, and a good investment for the future of our communities. Illustrated.
Download or read book Risk Management Series Designing for Earthquakes A Manual for Architects written by Federal Emergency Agency and published by FEMA. This book was released on 2013-04-14 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthquakes in the United States are regional in their occurrence and while California is famous for its earthquake other states, such as Texas, have much less concern for the threat of temblors. However, architectural practice is becoming increasingly national and global, and the architect in Texas may find that the next project is in California. Thus it has become necessary for the professional architect to have some knowledge of the earthquake problem and how design seeks to control it. Designing for Earthquakes: a Manual for Architects is intended to explain the principles of seismic design for those without a technical background in engineering and seismology. The primary intended audience is that of architects, and includes practicing architects, architectural students and faculty in architectural schools who teach structures and seismic design. For this reason the text and graphics are focused on those aspects of seismic design that are important for the architect to know. Because of its non-technical approach this publication will also be useful to anyone who has an interest and concern for the seismic protection of buildings, including facility managers, building owners and tenants, building committee participants, emergency service personnel and building officials. Engineers and engineering students will also gain from this discussion of seismic design from an architectural viewpoint. The principles discussed are applicable to a wide range of building types, both new and existing. The focus is on buildings that are designed by a team that includes architects, engineers and other consultants.
