Book Earthquake Resistant Structures

Download or read book Earthquake Resistant Structures written by Mohiuddin Ali Khan and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2013-03-18 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthquake engineering is the ultimate challenge for structural engineers. Even if natural phenomena involve great uncertainties, structural engineers need to design buildings, bridges, and dams capable of resisting the destructive forces produced by them. These disasters have created a new awareness about the disaster preparedness and mitigation. Before a building, utility system, or transportation structure is built, engineers spend a great deal of time analyzing those structures to make sure they will perform reliably under seismic and other loads. The purpose of this book is to provide structural engineers with tools and information to improve current building and bridge design and construction practices and enhance their sustainability during and after seismic events. In this book, Khan explains the latest theory, design applications and Code Provisions. Earthquake-Resistant Structures features seismic design and retrofitting techniques for low and high raise buildings, single and multi-span bridges, dams and nuclear facilities. The author also compares and contrasts various seismic resistant techniques in USA, Russia, Japan, Turkey, India, China, New Zealand, and Pakistan. Written by a world renowned author and educator Seismic design and retrofitting techniques for all structures Tools improve current building and bridge designs Latest methods for building earthquake-resistant structures Combines physical and geophysical science with structural engineering

Book Earthquake Resistant Design of Buildings

Download or read book Earthquake Resistant Design of Buildings written by Muhammad Hadi and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-10-06 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing important concepts in the study of earthquakes related to retrofitting of structures to be made earthquake resistant. The book investigates the pounding effects on base-isolated buildings, the soil-structure-interaction effects on adjacent buildings due to the impact, the seismic protection of adjacent buildings and the mitigation of earthquakeinduced vibrations of two adjacent structures. These concepts call for a new understanding of controlled systems with passive-active dampers and semi-active dampers. The passive control strategy of coupled buildings is investigated for seismic protection in comparison to active and semi-active control strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earth structures engineering involves the analysis, design and construction of structures, such as slopes and dams, that are composed mainly of earth materials, and this is a growth area in geotechnical engineering practice. This growth is due largely to increased involvement in designing various types of earth structures for the resources industries (slopes, impoundment structures, offshore islands, mine backfills), to the development of increas ingly large hydroelectric projects, to the need for more freshwater storage and diversion schemes, and to the need for transportation, communications and other facilities in areas where the natural earth materials are occasionally subject to mass instabilities. Although geotechnical engineering transects traditional disciplinary boundaries of civil, geological and mining engineering, the majority of geotechnical engineers are graduates from civil engineering schools. Here the geotechnical instruction has been concentrated on soil mechanics and foundation engineering because foundation engineering has traditionally been the major component of geotechnical practice. Geotechnical special ists, however, generally have acquired considerable formal or informal training beyond their first engineering degree, and an advanced degree with considerable cross-discipline course content is still considered an advantage for a young engineer entering a career in geotechnical engineering. Practical job experience is, of course, a necessary part of professional development but is readily interpreted and assimilated only if the required background training has been obtained.

Book A Complete Earthquake Resistant Design of Four Story Regular Office Building for Pakistan Region

Download or read book A Complete Earthquake Resistant Design of Four Story Regular Office Building for Pakistan Region written by Faheem A. Gul and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall objective of this work program is to enhance the awareness of the public against vulnerability of upcoming earthquakes. The specific objective of this work is: “To make our students capable to design a regular building independently”. The above-mentioned specific goal is achieved with the help of following three tasks (defining the scope of current work): i) To calculate the external stability checks problem ii) To design the superstructure of the building project by using SAP (Structure analysis program) software, in order to create and analyze FEM (Finite Element Model). The analysis results will be used for the drawings of structural members of the building. iii) To Design the substructure of the building project by using SAFE software. The analysis results of the building foundation will be used for the structural drawings of isolated footings.
