Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthquakes and Sustainable Infrastructure: Neodeterministic (NDSHA) Approach Guarantees Prevention Rather Than Cure communicates in one comprehensive volume the state-of-the-art scientific knowledge on earthquakes and related risks. Earthquakes occur in a seemingly random way and, in some cases, it is possible to trace seismicity back to the concept of deterministic chaos. Therefore, seismicity can be explained by a deterministic mechanism that arises as a result of various convection movements in the Earth’s mantle, expressed in the modern movement of lithospheric plates fueled by tidal forces. Consequently, to move from a perspective focused on the response to emergencies to a new perspective based on prevention and sustainability, it is necessary to follow this neodeterministic approach (NDSHA) to guarantee prevention, saving lives and infrastructure. This book describes in a complete and consistent way an effective explanation to complex structures, systems, and components, and prescribes solutions to practical challenges. It reflects the scientific novelty and promises a feasible, workable, theoretical and applicative attitude. Earthquakes and Sustainable Infrastructure serves a “commentary role” for developers and designers of critical infrastructure and unique installations. Commentary-like roles follow standard, where there is no standard. Mega-installations embody/potentiate risks; nonetheless, lack a comprehensive classic standard. Every compound is unique, one of its kind, and differs from others even of similar function. There is no justification to elaborate a common standard for unique entities. On the other hand, these specific installations, for example, NPPs, Naval Ports, Suez Canal, HazMat production sites, and nuclear waste deposits, impose security and safety challenges to people and the environment. The book offers a benchmark for entrepreneurs, designers, constructors, and operators on how to compile diverse relevant information on site-effects and integrate it into the best-educated guess to keep safe and secure, people and environment. The authors are eager to convey the entire information and explanations to our readers, without missing either accurate information or explanations. That is achieved by “miniaturization,” as much is possible, not minimization. So far, the neodeterministic method has been successfully applied in numerous metropolitan areas and regions such as Delhi (India), Beijing (China), Naples (Italy), Algiers (Algeria), Cairo (Egypt), Santiago de Cuba (Cuba), Thessaloniki (Greece), South-East Asia (2004), Tohoku, Japan (2011), Albania (2019), Bangladesh, Iran, Sumatra, Ecuador, and elsewhere. Earthquakes and Sustainable Infrastructure includes case studies from these areas, as well as suggested applications to other seismically active areas around the globe. NDSHA approaches confirm/validate that science is looming to warn. Concurrently, leaders and practitioners have to learn to use rectified science in favor of peoples' safety. State-of-the-art science does have the know-how to reduce casualties and structural damage from potential catastrophes to a bearable incident. The only book to cover earthquake prediction and preparation from a neo-deterministic (NDSHA) approach Includes case studies from metropolitan areas where the neo-deterministic method has been successfully applied Editors and authors include top experts in academia, disaster prevention, and preparedness management

Download or read book An Empirical Interpretation of the Effects of Topography on Ground Motion of the San Fernando California Earthquake 9 February 1971 written by Frank K. Chang and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study attempts to determine site effects on earthquake ground motion and the correlation between acceleration and/or velocity generated during the San Fernando Earthquake and topography of the San Gabriel Mountain range. It was found that the contours of peak acceleration and peak velocity generally follow the topography of the San Gabriel Mountain range. The topographical effects on the ground motion could be interpreted in a simple manner as a function of elevation and direction of wave transmission path. The elevation and direction become the dominant factors in the distribution of the ground motion in the near field. A simple, practical method for calculating the bedrock motion using the ground motion-elevation gradient has been applied in the area south of Kagel Mountain and north of Santa Monica Mountain, in the San Fernando Valley. This method is validated using after-shock data. This ground motion-elevation gradient method was applied to an area where the topography has its highest elevation at the epicentral region and decreases in elevation to the surrounding locations in the near field (within 30 km). In any case, when the epicenter occurs at an elevation lower than the elevation of the surrounding area, this gradient method may not be applicable and must be tested for this alternate condition.

Book excerpt: The Loma Prieta earthquake struck the San Francisco area on October 17, 1989, causing 63 deaths and $10 billion worth of damage. This book reviews existing research on the Loma Prieta quake and draws from it practical lessons that could be applied to other earthquake-prone areas of the country. The volume contains seven keynote papers presented at a symposium on the earthquake and includes an overview written by the committee offering recommendations to improve seismic safety and earthquake awareness in parts of the country susceptible to earthquakes.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise volume presents advances in geotechnical practice and research in analysis and design of deep foundations supporting structures during and after earthquake loading. Written by recognized experts on the behavior of deep foundations under seismic loading, five peer-reviewed papers address the effects of cyclic loading on deep foundation stability, improved analytical methods for treating soil-foundation-structure interaction, and the effects of various assumptions used in FHWA and ATC design procedures. Illustrative case histories describe the performance of deep foundations supporting highway bridges and a power plant.
