Download or read book Seismic Mitigation for Equipment at Army Medical Centers Methods Illustrated With Examples from Madigan Army Medical Center written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical centers may be the most critical facilities in the response and recovery phase immediately after a damaging earthquake. This report presents observations and makes recommendations for the protection of equipment, many of which support essential functions. These observations are based on a walk-down inspection of Madigan Army Medical Center conducted in December 1996. Protecting critical equipment include, ensuring an adequate load path, providing adequate anchorage, and accommodating differential movement. Observations and recommendations are presented based on effective equipment protection seen at MAMC, anchorage problems seen at MAMC, and load path concerns for well anchored equipment. Lastly several references are listed with highlights on their significance to medical facilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare facilities or hospital systems are classified as some of the most critical infrastructure systems when responding to natural disasters. Seismic Resilience Assessment of Hospital Infrastructure systematically presents a suite of novel techniques developed by the authors and their team for seismic resilience assessment of hospital infrastructure, with particular emphasis on seismic tests and fragility models of hospital equipment, resilience assessment of single hospital buildings and emergency departments, and post-earthquake functionality of urban hospital infrastructures. Features: Presents a state-of-the-art review on hospital resilience Develops seismic fragility model database for hospital equipment based on shaking table tests Provides a road map for effective and efficient methods necessary for assessing and improving seismic resilience of hospital systems and other critical engineering systems Expertly summarizes outcomes of many important research projects sponsored by various research agencies, including the National Natural Science Foundation of China

This book was released on 1977 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the first phase in the development of a decision tool for assessing: (1) the seismic hazard to Army facilities and (2) the cost of mitigation schemes for reducing the hazard. A simulation model was developed to determine the cost of repairing damage to a facility resulting from seismic activity, as well as the cost of strengthening or replacing the facility to mitigate the effects of seismic activity. The cost to repair damage and the costs to strengthen and replace four-, seven-, and ten-story facilities are presented for three basic building configurations and a continuum of loads ranging from the 1968 Structural Engineers Association of California Zone 3 requirements to a 1.0 g response spectrum. An example for use of the model is given, along with two decision methodologies.
