Earthquake Resistant Design and Risk Reduction
By Dr. David J. Dowrick
Publisher: Wiley | 548 pages | 2009-09-15 | ISBN: 0470778156 | English | PDF | 5.6 MB

Product Description:

Earthquake Resistant Design and Risk Reduction, 2nd edition is based upon global research and development work over the last 50 years or more, and follows the author’s series of three books Earthquake Resistant Design, 1st and 2nd editions (1977 and 1987), and Earthquake Risk Reduction (2003). Many advances have been made since the 2003 edition of Earthquake Risk Reduction, and there is every sign that this rate of progress will continue apace in the years to come. Compiled from the author’s wide design and research experience in earthquake engineering and engineering seismology, this key text provides an excellent treatment of the complex multidisciplinary process of earthquake resistant design and risk reduction.

New topics include the creation of low-damage structures and the spatial distribution of ground shaking near large fault ruptures. Sections on guidance for developing countries, response of buildings to differential settlement in liquefaction, performance-based and displacement-based design and the architectural aspects of earthquake resistant design are heavily revised.

This book:

* Outlines individual national weaknesses that contribute to earthquake risk to people and property
* Calculates the seismic response of soils and structures, using the structural continuum “Subsoil – Substructure – Superstructure – Non–structure”
* Evaluates the effectiveness of given design and construction procedures for reducing casualties and financial losses
* Provides guidance on the key issue of choice of structural form
* Presents earthquake resistant design methods for the main four structural materials – steel, concrete, reinforced masonry and timber – as well as for services equipment, plant and non-structural architectural components
* Contains a chapter devoted to problems involved in improving (retrofitting) the existing built environment

This book is an invaluable reference and guiding tool to practising civil and structural engineers and architects, researchers and postgraduate students in earthquake engineering and engineering seismology, local governments and risk management officials.

Earthquake Resistant Design and Risk Reduction - by DJ Dowrick.pdf

This book is intended to help professionals of a wide range of disciplines in their attempts to reduce the social and economic risks of earthquakes. Earthquake risk reduction involves so many issues in planning, design, regulation, quality control and risk assessment, that it is difficult for any individual to gain a full perspective on the issue, or for any society to move forward in the quest at the desired speed.
The principal objectives are to:
• discuss the chief aspects of earthquake risk and their evaluation;
• present methods of reducing or managing a range of earthquake risks;
• give guidance on topics where no generally accepted method is currently available;
• suggest procedures to be adopted in earthquake regions having no official zoning or lateral force regulations; and
• indicate some of the more important specialist literature.
The general principles of this book apply to the whole built environment, while the more detailed sections relate to selected aspects of it. Whereas an attempt has been made to provide guidance on most of the more important issues, the coverage cannot be exhaustive in a single book.
