This book was released on 1964 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well-constructed light wood frame buildings for the most part resisted the shock forces of the earthquake that occurred in Alaska on Good Friday of 1964. This was not generally true of other types of construction. Because the majority of the homes in the Anchorage area were of wood frame construction, damages were usually superficial except in those areas where severe earth subsidence had occurred. There was some variation in the performance of the houses, based often on material choice, fastening methods, and construction details. Because the primary purpose of the survey was the investigation of wood frame structures, the majority of the descriptions cover such units. However, illustrations and details of many types of failures are included. (Author).

Download or read book Historical Earthquake Resistant Timber Frames in the Mediterranean Area written by Nicola Ruggieri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a selection of the best papers from the HEaRT 2013 conference, held in Cosenza, Italy, which provided a valuable forum for engineers and architects, researchers and educators to exchange views and findings concerning the technological history, construction features and seismic behavior of historical timber-framed walls in the Mediterranean countries. The topics covered are wide ranging and include historical aspects and examples of the use of timber-framed construction systems in response to earthquakes, such as the gaiola system in Portugal and the Bourbon system in southern Italy; interpretation of the response of timber-framed walls to seismic actions based on calculations and experimental tests; assessment of the effectiveness of repair and strengthening techniques, e.g., using aramid fiber wires or sheets; and modelling analyses. In addition, on the basis of case studies, a methodology is presented that is applicable to diagnosis, strengthening and improvement of seismic performance and is compatible with modern theoretical principles and conservation criteria. It is hoped that, by contributing to the knowledge of this construction technique, the book will help to promote conservation of this important component of Europe’s architectural heritage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades several major earthquakes have caused serious damage to wooden houses, highlighting the need for earthquake-proofing of timber structures. Existing design concepts are mainly based on the static considerations of shear-resistant walls or frames of timber structures, and thus cannot predict the behavior of severely damaged structures. Meanwhile, timber structure research has employed response analyses, large-scale tests and shaking tables, which have considerable increased understanding of the behavior of wooden houses during earthquakes. Applying this knowledge and new analytical tools based on the discrete elements method, the Japanese Building Research Institute has developed the Wallstat collapse analysis software for damage assessment and prediction of the likelihood of whole building collapse during seismic motion. Researchers and engineers who specialize in timber structures can now more readily generate their own research results. This book outlines the seismic behaviour and seismic performance requirement of timber structures and explains the concept of basic earthquake-proof design, and it provides background to the collapse analysis of timber structures by seismic loading, and explains the Wallstat software along with several worked examples.

Download or read book Performance of Wood frame Building Construction in Earthquakes written by J. H. Rainer and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a survey of the performance of wood-frame construction in a number of recent earthquakes. After a review of the dominant factors that affect the seismic behaviour of buildings, the following earthquakes are examined: Alaska, 1964; San Fernando, California 1971; Edgecumbe, New Zealand 1987; Saguenay, Quebec 1988; Loma Prieta, California 1989; Northridge, California 1994; and Kobe, Japan 1995. Wherever possible, the behaviour of buildings is related to the measured peak horizontal ground accelerations. The survey shows that despite some specific shortcomings and resultant failures, a majority of wood-frame buildings of various ages, when subjected to peak ground accelerations of 0.6 g and greater, survived the shaking without serious structural damage or collapse and with very few resulting injuries and deaths. Thus, the life-safety criterion that is implicit in building codes is largely satisfied. In addition, many modern wood-frame buildings survived such shaking without any visible damage. The few observed failures and collapses could be traced primarily to specific instances of lack of lateral bracing, weak first storey, inadequate connection to foundations and the fact that the observed ground motions far exceeded the then-existing design requirements. The observed shortcomings have been and are being addressed by researchers and practitioners in order to eliminate these adverse effects in future earthquakes. The research program at Forintek Canada Corp. is highlighted, aimed at improved seismic behaviour of wood-frame construction and the subsequent implementation into design guides and codes and standards. Studies on joints, shear walls, mathematical modelling and development of codes and standards are discussed. Finally, for existing buildings that do not meet current seismic standards, guidelines available in the USA and Canada for screening, evaluation and upgrading are presented. It is concluded that wood-frame construction can withstand the shaking from large earthquakes without serious distress and often without damage provided that appropriate anti-seismic procedures are followed by designers, builders and owners.
