This book was released on 2013-03-16 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, FEMA-351 - Recommended Seismic Evaluation and Upgrade Criteria for Existing Welded Steel Moment-Frame Buildings has been developed by the SAC Joint Venture under contract to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide structural engineers with recommended criteria for evaluation of the probable performance of existing steel moment-frame buildings in future earthquakes and to provide a basis for updating and revision of evaluation and rehabilitation guidelines and standards. It is one of a series of companion publications addressing the issue of the seismic performance of steel moment-frame buildings. The set of companion publications includes: FEMA-350 - Recommended Seismic Design Criteria for New Steel Moment-Frame Buildings. This publication provides recommended criteria, supplemental to FEMA-302 - 1997 NEHRP Recommended Provisions for Seismic Regulations for New Buildings and Other Structures, for the design and construction of steel moment-frame buildings and provides alternative performance-based design criteria. FEMA-351 - Recommended Seismic Evaluation and Upgrade Criteria for Existing Welded Steel Moment-Frame Buildings. This publication provides recommended methods to evaluate the probable performance of existing steel moment-frame buildings in future earthquakes and to retrofit these buildings for improved performance. FEMA-352 - Recommended Postearthquake Evaluation and Repair Criteria for Welded Steel Moment-Frame Buildings. This publication provides recommendations for performing postearthquake inspections to detect damage in steel moment-frame buildings following an earthquake, evaluating the damaged buildings to determine their safety in the postearthquake environment, and repairing damaged buildings. FEMA-353 - Recommended Specifications and Quality Assurance Guidelines for Steel Moment-Frame Construction for Seismic Applications. This publication provides recommended specifications for the fabrication and erection of steel moment frames for seismic applications. The recommended design criteria contained in the other companion documents are based on the material and workmanship standards contained in this document, which also includes discussion of the basis for the quality control and quality assurance criteria contained in the recommended specifications. The information contained in these recommended evaluation and upgrade criteria, hereinafter referred to as Recommended Criteria, is presented in the form of specific recommendations for design and performance evaluation procedures together with supporting commentary explaining part of the basis for these recommendations.

Download or read book Earthquake Resistant Buildings written by M.Y.H. Bangash and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-08-19 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise work provides a general introduction to the design of buildings which must be resistant to the effect of earthquakes. A major part of this design involves the building structure which has a primary role in preventing serious damage or structural collapse. Much of the material presented in this book examines building structures. Due to the recent discovery of vertical components, it examines not only the resistance to lateral forces but also analyses the disastrous influence of vertical components. The work is written for Practicing Civil, Structural, and Mechanical Engineers, Seismologists and Geoscientists. It serves as a knowledge source for graduate students and their instructors.

This book was released on 2023-03-21 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been primarily designed for disaster management students interested in learning about the various aspects of Disaster management. Disasters can strike at any time, often without warning, and can have devastating consequences for individuals, families, and entire communities. Whether it is a natural disaster such as a hurricane, earthquake, or wildfire, or a man-made disaster such as a chemical spill or terrorist attack, the impact of a disaster can be far-reaching and long-lasting. Effective disaster management is essential to minimize the impact of disasters and to help affected communities recover and rebuild. This requires a coordinated and well-planned response from government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and other stakeholders involved in disaster management. This book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the key concepts, principles, and practices of disaster management. It covers a wide range of topics, from disaster risk assessment and emergency preparedness to response, recovery, and reconstruction. It also explores the role of technology and innovation in disaster management and the importance of community engagement and resilience-building in disaster-prone areas. Written by experts in the field, this book is an essential resource for anyone involved in disaster management, including emergency responders, government officials, NGOs, and community leaders. It is also an important reference for academics and students studying disaster management and related fields. In a world where disasters are becoming more frequent and more complex, the need for effective disaster management has never been greater. This book provides practical insights and guidance on how to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters, and offers a roadmap for building more resilient and sustainable communities.

Download or read book Seismic Design for Architects written by Andrew Charleson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seismic Design for Architects shows how structural requirements for seismic resistance can become an integral part of the design process. Structural integrity does not have to be at the expense of innovative, high standard design in seismically active zones. * By emphasizing design and discussing key concepts with accompanying visual material, architects are given the background knowledge and practical tools needed to deal with aspects of seismic design at all stages of the design process * Seismic codes from several continents are drawn upon to give a global context of seismic design * Extensively illustrated with diagrams and photographs * A non-mathematical approach focuses upon the principles and practice of seismic resistant design to enable readers to grasp the concepts and then readily apply them to their building designs Seismic Design for Architects is a comprehensive, practical reference work and text book for students of architecture, building science, architectural and civil engineering, and professional architects and structural engineers.
