Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Of all the books, reports, and recently published articles about procedures to reduce seismic risks that have passed through my hands, this is the one that offers the greatest challenge to researchers, academics, and professionals, not only architects, but also to urbanists and engineers, government authorities, and investors involved in reducing the socially and economically acceptable seismic risks in our urban areas." -Engineer Vitelmo V. Bertero, professor specialized in seismoresistant engineering at UC Berkeley De todos los libros, informes y artículos que se han publicado recientemente sobre los procedimientos para reducir los riesgos sísmicos que han pasado por mis manos, éste es el que quizás ofrece el mayor desafío a los investigadores, académicos y profesionales, no sólo arquitectos, sino también urbanistas e ingenieros, autoridades gubernamentales e inversores involucrados o interesados en reducir a niveles que sean socialmente y económicamente aceptables los riesgos sísmicos en nuestras áreas urbanas. Como la autora refleja en el último párrafo de su comentario final, el propósito principal del material de este libro es 'ayudar a entender físicamente, en contraposición a analíticamente, los efectos que pueden producir los sismos en las ciudades' y despertar la inquietud en los profesionales involucrados en el diseño, construcción y mantenimiento de los edificios, así como en los urbanistas y planificadores, para que se produzca un cambio de actitud hacia los problemas que pueden generarse por sus decisiones cuando no se tiene en cuenta el estado de conocimiento en el Diseño de Edificaciones Sismorresistentes (DESR) para establecer la normativa urbana, construir nuevas edificaciones y actualizar el comportamiento sismorresistente de las existentes en ciudades situadas en zonas sísmicas.'

Download or read book Proyecto Arquitect nico En Zonas S smicas written by Alejandro Rojas Contreras and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-07-10 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La arquitectura mexicana actual est mostrando su talento en las obras que proyectan. Sin embargo, sea cual fuese el proyecto arquitectnico, es indispensable considerar las condiciones que existirn en eventos ssmicos. No hacerlo as significa exponerse a incertidumbres de servicio o riesgos de estabilidad, que pueden inhabilitar o hacer fallar la estructura que se trate. Fue as como se perdieron en la ciudad de Mxico legados importantes de arquitectura, por los efectos del sismo de 1985. A partir de ese entonces somos mejores: aprendimos que la arquitectura est ligada a las condiciones de su entorno. La Torre Latinoamericana es un icono de la Ciudad de Mxico porque conjunta arquitectura, estructura, cimentacin y sismo. El sismo de 1957 permiti reconocer el avance que se estaba logrando al integrar el diseo ssmico y la arquitectura. El de 1985 nos record que esa integracin no es opcional, es necesaria. Esto exige que la participacin del arquitecto y el ingeniero sea estrecha para beneficio de todos. El costo en vidas y los daos materiales se minimizan en la medida en que se incrementen las consideraciones ssmicas en los proyectos arquitectnicos. El presente libro lo introduce a uno en el tema, cmo y por qu se originan los sismos, cules son los principales elementos a considerar en el clculo de las fuerzas ssmicas, y cmo se integran esos resultados en el diseo final. Es mrito del autor haberlo logrado: su formacin acadmica de licenciatura en ingeniera civil, su postgrado en arquitectura y su desarrollo profesional en ambas actividades, lo han permitido. Es as como logra llevar al lector en un recorrido que permite visualizar la importancia del proyecto arquitectnico en zonas ssmicas. Explica de manera amena los elementos bsicos que se requiere conocer de fsica, sismologa y estructuras para llegar a los conceptos de coeficiente ssmico y espectro de diseo. Aborda el efecto de los sismos en los suelos: los tipos de suelos y sus caractersticas, los reglamentos de inters y comentarios en paralelo para ampliar las perspectivas del tema. Contina con el efecto de los sismos en los edificios, el comportamiento de sus elementos y sistemas estructurales. Presenta las condiciones de diseo arquitectnico en zonas ssmicas y las configuraciones antissmicas a considerar. Completa este marco general con el comportamiento de los diversos sistemas estructurales y los procesos aplicables, indicando las precauciones que deben tenerse durante su construccin. Al final presenta casos prcticos, que son ejemplos actuales de proyectos urbanos que no son ajenos al lector.

Download or read book Seismic Architecture written by Mentor Llunji and published by MSPROJECT. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is arguably the most comprehensive book on the subject of architectural-structural design decisions that influence the seismic performance of buildings. It explores the intersection between the architecture and the structural design through the lens of earthquake engineering. The main aim of this unique book, written by renowned engineer M.Llunji, is to explain in the simplest terms, the architecture and structure of earthquake-resistant buildings, using many practical examples and case studies to demonstrate the fact that structures and buildings react to earthquake forces mainly according to their form, configuration and material. The purpose of this book is to introduce a new perspective on seismic design,a more visual, conceptual and architectural one, to both architects and engineers. In a word, it is to introduce architectural opportunities for earthquake resistant- buildings, treating seismic design as a central architectural issue. A non-mathematical and practical approach emphasizing graphical presentation of problems and solutions makes it equally accessible to architectural and engineering professionals.The book will be invaluable for practicing engineers, architects, students and researches. .More than 500 illustrations/photographs and numerous case studies. Seismic Architecture covers: • Earthquake effects on structures • Seismic force resisting systems • Advanced systems for seismic protection • Architectural/structural configuration and its influence on seismic response • Contemporary architecture in seismic regions • Seismic response of nonstructural elements • Seismic retrofit and rehabilitation of existing buildings • Seismic architecture.

Download or read book Latin American Vanguards written by Vicky Unruh and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1994-12-15 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first comprehensive study of Latin America's literary vanguards of the 1920s and 1930s, Vicky Unruh explores the movement's provocative and polemic nature. Latin American vanguardism—a precursor to the widely acclaimed work of contemporary Latin American writers—was stimulated by the European avant-garde movements of the World War I era. But as Unruh's wide-ranging study attests, the vanguards of Latin America—emerging from the continent's own historical circumstances—developed a very distinct character and voice. Through manifestos, experimental texts, and ribald public performance, the vanguardists' work intertwined art, culture, and the politics of the day to produce a powerful brand of aesthetic activism, one that sparked an entire rethinking of the meaning of art and culture throughout Latin America.

Download or read book AO ASIF Principles in Spine Surgery written by Max Aebi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has become necessary as a consequence of the rapid expansion of the surgical procedures and implants available for spinal surgery within the "AO Group". We have not attempted to write an in-depth book on spinal surgery, but one which will help the surgeon in the use of AO concepts and implants. We con sider the practical courses held all over the world essential for the teaching of sound techniques so that technical complications and poor results can be avoid ed for both the surgeon and, in particular the patient. This book is a practical manual and an outline of what is taught in the courses. It is intended to help the young spinal surgeon to understand the correct use of AO implants. The indi- tions given will aid the correct use of each procedure. . It must be strongly emphasized that surgery of the spine is technically de manding. The techniques described in this book should only be undertaken by surgeons who are trained and experienced in spinal surgery. Certain techniques, in particular pedicle screw fIxation and cages, have not yet been fully approved by the FDA in the United States. However, throughout the rest of the world, the use of pedicle screws has become a standard technique for the spine surgeon, since it has been shown to improve fIxation techniques and allow segmental correction of the spine. The use of cages has become more and more popular, specifIcally as a tool of minimally invasive spinal surgery.

Download or read book Mendelssohn and His World written by R. Larry Todd and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-16 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1830s and 1840s the remarkably versatile composer-pianist-organist-conductor Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy stood at the forefront of German and English musical life. Bringing together previously unpublished essays by historians and musicologists, reflections on Mendelssohn written by his contemporaries, the composer's own letters, and early critical reviews of his music, this volume explores various facets of Mendelssohn's music, his social and intellectual circles, and his career. The essays in Part I cover the nature of a Jewish identity in Mendelssohn's music (Leon Botstein); his relationship to the Berlin Singakademie (William A. Little); the role of his sister Fanny Hensel, herself a child prodigy and accomplished composer (Nancy Reich); Mendelssohn's compositional craft in the Italian Symphony and selected concert overtures (Claudio Spies); his oratorio Elijah (Martin Staehelin); his incidental music to Sophocles' Antigone (Michael P. Steinberg); his anthem "Why, O Lord, delay forever?" (David Brodbeck); and an unfinished piano sonata (R. Larry Todd). Part II presents little-known memoirs by such contemporaries as J. C. Lobe, A. B. Marx, Julius Schubring, C. E. Horsley, Max Mller, and Betty Pistor. Mendelssohn's letters are represented in Part III by his correspondence with Wilhelm von Boguslawski and Aloys Fuchs, here translated for the first time. Part IV contains late nineteenth-century critical reviews by Heinrich Heine, Franz Brendel, Friedrich Niecks, Otto Jahn, and Hans von Blow.
