Book Rapid Visual Screening of Buildings for Potential Seismic Hazards  Supporting Documentation

Download or read book Rapid Visual Screening of Buildings for Potential Seismic Hazards Supporting Documentation written by and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2015 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rapid Visual Screening (RVS) handbook can be used by trained personnel to identify, inventory, and screen buildings that are potentially seismically vulnerable. The RVS procedure comprises a method and several forms that help users to quickly identify, inventory, and score buildings according to their risk of collapse if hit by major earthquakes. The RVS handbook describes how to identify the structural type and key weakness characteristics, how to complete the screening forms, and how to manage a successful RVS program.

Book Advances in Assessment and Modeling of Earthquake Loss

Download or read book Advances in Assessment and Modeling of Earthquake Loss written by Sinan Akkar and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-02 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book originates from an international workshop organized by Turkish Natural Catastrophe Insurance Pool (TCIP) in November 2019 that gathered renown researchers from academia, representatives of leading international reinsurance and modeling companies as well as government agencies responsible of insurance pricing in Turkey. The book includes chapters related to post-earthquake damage assessment, the state-of-art and novel earthquake loss modeling, their implementation and implication in insurance pricing at national, regional and global levels, and the role of earthquake insurance in building resilient societies and fire following earthquakes. The rich context encompassed in the book makes it a valuable tool not only for professionals and researchers dealing with earthquake loss modeling but also for practitioners in the insurance and reinsurance industry.

Book Manual of Evaluation Procedures for Passive Fire Prevention Following Earthquakes

Download or read book Manual of Evaluation Procedures for Passive Fire Prevention Following Earthquakes written by Robert Brady Williamson and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report originated with a research project that has focused on the postearthquake safety evaluation of the passive fire prevention features of buildings. Coordination with the structural inspection process is an important component of how the results of this research will be put into practice. In large buildings such as hospitals, jails, nursing homes, and apartment buildings, (with, or without automatic sprinklers) the accepted means of controlling fire damage is by the application of water by the fire department. In general, sufficient fire resistance is built into these structures to give one or two hours of fire containment to allow the fire fighters enough time to stop the fire. In many instances m the initial postearthquake time period, however, there is little or no water obtainable, and few fire fighters are available to extinguish the fires in such large structures. Passive fire protection needs to be evaluated for its ability to contain a fire with limited Fire fighting capability. Consideration should also be given to the concept that certain occupancies may not be safe in some structures while these same structures could be safely used for other occupancies. For instance, a hospital may be safe housing shelter for able-bodied people, whereas it might not be safe for its intended occupants. As time passes and the fire fighting capabilities of the. local fire service are reinforced and strengthened, these buildings may then once again become safe for their original occupants. A number of conclusions and recommendations have been presented to further the development of an ATC 20 Evaluation Safety Assessment for post-earthquake inspection of passive fire prevention.
