Book Structural Engineering and Geomechanics   Volume 1

Download or read book Structural Engineering and Geomechanics Volume 1 written by Sashi K. Kunnath and published by EOLSS Publications. This book was released on 2020-06-22 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An understanding of dynamic effects on structures is critical to minimize losses from earthquakes and other hazards. These three books provide an overview of essential topics in structural and geotechnical engineering with an additional focus on related topics in earthquake engineering to enable readers gain such an understanding. One of the ultimate objectives of these books is to provide readers with insights into seismic analysis and design. However, in order to accomplish that objective, background material on structural and geotechnical engineering is necessary. Hence the first two sections of the book provide this background material followed by selected topics in earthquake engineering. The material is organized into three major parts. The first section covers topics in structural engineering. Beginning with fundamental mechanics of materials, the book includes chapters on linear and nonlinear analysis as well as topics on modeling of structures from different perspectives. In addition to traditional design of structural systems, introductions to important concepts in structural reliability and structural stability are discussed. Also covered are subjects of recent interest, viz., blast and impact effects on structures as well as the use of fiber reinforced polymer composites in structural applications. Given the growing interest in urban renewal, an interesting chapter on restoration of historic cities is also included. The second part of the book covers topics in geotechnical engineering, covering both shallow and deep foundations and issues and procedures for geotechnical modeling. The final part of the book focuses on earthquake engineering with emphasis on both structures and foundations. Here again, the material covered includes both traditional seismic design and innovative seismic protection. And more importantly, concepts in modeling for seismic analysis are highlighted.

Book Earthquake Resistant Engineering Structures X

Download or read book Earthquake Resistant Engineering Structures X written by C.A. Brebbia and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containing the latest research on preparation for and mitigation of future earthquakes, this book addresses an area of increasing importance to many areas around the world. It contains research presented at the ninth and latest in a series of biennial conferences on the topic organised by the Wessex Institute. As world population has concentrated in urban areas, we have seen the consequences of natural disasters take an ever higher toll in human life and property. Adding to this trend, earthquake activity is being registered in areas that were not previously very active, thus the need for research into the application of technological advances to the specific area of earthquake engineering. This volume presents those advances. The papers cover Seismic Isolation and Energy Dissipation; Building Performance During Earthquakes; Nonlinear Numerical Analysis; Performance Based Design; Experimental Studies; Seismic Hazard Evaluation and Microzoning for Structural Design; Seismic Hazard Assessment; Case Studies.

Book Critical comparison of major seismic codes for buildings

Download or read book Critical comparison of major seismic codes for buildings written by fib Fédération internationale du béton and published by fib Fédération internationale du béton. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: fib Bulletin 69 illustrates and compares major buildings seismic codes applied in the different Continents, namely U.S., Japan, New Zealand, Europe, Canada, Chile and Mexico. Bulletin 69 was prepared by Task Group 7.6 of fib Commission 7, under the leadership of the late Professor Robert (Bob) Park which, in tandem with Professor Paulay, had developed in the seventies new fundamental design concepts, most notably capacity design approach and structural design for ductility, that had made the NZ seismic Code the most advanced one of the time. This new approach has highly influenced the development of Eurocode 8, to which Bob Park has significantly contributed. Bob Park was also well informed of the situation in Japan, USA, Canada and South America. Such a wide view is reflected in Bulletin 69 showing similarities and differences among the major seismic codes, accompanied as far as possible by comments, hopefully useful for fostering international harmonization. A comprehensive summary of the major codes is provided in the first chapter of the bulletin. All codes are separately presented according to a common framework: an introduction section, which describes the history, the philosophy, the process development, the performance-based criteria, the strength of materials and the incorporation of strength reduction factors of each code; a second section devoted to the demand side, which specify the seismic design actions and associated criteria of each code for areas of different seismicity and for structures with different ductility properties/requirements; a third section devoted to the capacity side, which describes the capacities of members and joints and associated criteria of each code, including member strengths in flexure, shear and bars anchorage, desirable hierarchies of strength attainment, deformation capacities of mechanisms of inelastic deformation, detailing of beams, columns and structural walls, detailing of beam-column joints for shear and the detailing of diaphragms. The second chapter is devoted to the comparison of the more significant issues dealt in the considered codes. This includes: seismic design actions and associated criteria, capacity design practice, beams, columns, confinement, structural walls and joints. It is felt that fib Bulletin 69 represents a useful, unique instrument for rapidly gaining an overview of the distinguishing features of the major world codes, under both their conceptual framework and application rules.

Book Improving the Performance of Reinforced Concrete Beam column Joints Designed for Seismic Resistance

Download or read book Improving the Performance of Reinforced Concrete Beam column Joints Designed for Seismic Resistance written by Nicholas J. Brooke and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The testing of thirteen large scale beam-column joints forms the framework for the content of this thesis. The thirteen tests were divided into three series, each of which investigated an aspect of earthquake resistant design of moment resisting frames. The results obtained from testing the first series of four beam-column joints contradicted the conclusion of earlier research that design criterion specifying the ratio of column depth to bar diameter required to anchor beam longitudinal reinforcement at interior beam-column joints was non-conservative when applied to Grade 500E reinforcement. As a result, a database of approximately 100 beam-column joints was assembled and used to parametrically develop an improved design criterion that was shown to satisfactorily predict experimental performance based on the anchorage length provided. It was also shown in the first part of the thesis that the flexural overstrength factor should be the same irrespective of whether Grade 300E or Grade 500E longitudinal reinforcement is used in a beam. This finding contradicts current New Zealand practice, which specifies a higher flexural overstrength factor for Grade 500E reinforcement. The second set of four tests assessed the performance of beam-column joints constructed using inorganic polymer concrete. The properties of inorganic polymer concrete are similar to those of concrete produced using Portland cement, but the production of inorganic polymer concrete releases 80% less "greenhouse gases" into the atmosphere than the production of Portland cement concrete. The results of these tests showed that satisfactory performance can be expected from beam-column joints designed using existing New Zealand standards but constructed using inorganic polymer concrete. The final series of five tests were conducted to assess the performance of beam-column joints when the joint core was constructed using high performance fibre reinforced cementitious composites (HPFRCC) and contained no conventional transverse reinforcement. The results of this testing showed that satisfactory performance could be achieved when the magnitude of the joint core shear stress was commensurate with the strength of the HPFRCC used. It was also evident that HPFRCC is significantly superior to plain concrete with regards to the anchorage of reinforcement within the joint core. A number of comments were made regarding the practicalities of using HPFRCC joint cores in real structures, from which it was concluded that for most structures HPFRCC joint cores are unlikely to be a practical alternative to conventionally reinforced joint cores.
