The contributions comprising this volume highlight the continuous need of carrying out further research on major earthquakes and associated effects such as tsunamis. The problems arising from such catastrophic events intensify as population pressure...Lasīt vairāk
This book challenges reconstruction as a replica to physically preserve damaged built heritage by critically examining a context of constant change resulting from earthquakes Chile advocating for the digital record to be an analytical basis fo...Lasīt vairāk
Design of Wind and Earthquake Resistant Reinforced Concrete Buildings explains wind and seismic design issues of RCC buildings in brief and provides design examples based on recommendations of latest IS codes essential for industrial design. Intri...Lasīt vairāk
Research in vibration response control deals not only with prevention of catastrophic failures of structures during natural or accidental/manmade hazards but also ensures the comfort of occupants through serviceability. Therefore, the focus of thi...Lasīt vairāk
This systematically sets out useful engineering equations and computational models for analysing large outdoor fire dynamics, and presents practical approaches to risk assessment. It details the items needed for analysing risks and for designing p...Lasīt vairāk
Pacific Northwest Coastal Environments: Earthquakes and Sea Level Rise investigates the potential impacts of changes in global sea level by examining historical sea and land levels, projected future levels, and by determining how those ch...Lasīt vairāk
Earthquake Engineering and Structural Control: Theory and Applications examines the basics of structural dynamics with its application for earthquake engineering and structural control methods. The objective is not to explain earthquake-r...Lasīt vairāk
This fully-updated new edition provides an introduction to geotechnical earthquake engineering to first-time readers (typically first-year graduate students) with a level of detail that will be useful to more advanced students, as well as researcher...Lasīt vairāk
This book describes recent studies of soil behaviour in strong ground motion one of the most important and problematic issues in engineering seismology. Destructive earthquakes worldwide show us the damage of structures located on soil foundations;...Lasīt vairāk
Seismic Analysis and Design of Building Structures presents the latest advances and research developments in the seismic analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures. The first part of the book documents the response of structural...Lasīt vairāk
Integrated earthquake simulation evaluates earthquake hazards and disasters by carrying out a sequence of numerical simulations of such aspects as earthquake wave generation and propagation, structural seismic response, mass evacuation, and econom...Lasīt vairāk
This book summarizes the most essential concepts that every engineer designing a new building or evaluating an existing structure should consider in order to control the damage caused by drift (deformation) induced by earthquakes. It presents the...Lasīt vairāk
Seismic Retrofit of Existing Buildings is a concise and easy-to-use guideline for practising engineers to assess and design successful seismic retrofit interventions for existing vulnerable buildings. It offers readers guidance on both co...Lasīt vairāk
