Attached is a seismic source parameters in pdf taken from EZ-FRISK regional seismic sources:
EUROPE AREA SEISMIC SOURCE DATABASE: Italy Area Source, Italian Area 901
EUROPE AREA SEISMIC SOURCE DATABASE: Italy Area Source, Italian Area 906
SOUTHEAST ASIA FAULT SEISMIC SOURCE DATABASE: Thailand Three Pagodas Fault
SOUTHEAST ASIA FAULT SEISMIC SOURCE DATABASE: Thailand Nam Pat Fault
as an example to give you an idea what are the parameters to input in creating user area/fault seismic sources.

This 2010 edition of the IDAHO BRIDGE INSPECTION CODING GUIDE incorporates a few changes and corrections from our previous issues of the coding guide.
The Structure Inventory and Appraisal portion of this coding guide is based directly on the Federal Highway Administration’s RECORDING AND CODING GUIDE FOR THE STRUCTURE INVENTORY AND APPRAISAL OF THE NATION’S BRIDGES, December 1995. The AASHTO MANUAL FOR BRIDGE EVALUATION, 2008 addresses requirements for record-keeping, inspection material testing, load rating and posting of bridges. The BRIDGE INSPECTOR’S REFERENCE MANUAL (BIRM), DECEMBER 2006 discusses inspection procedures and analysis of a structure. Other reporting requirements and qualifications of personnel appear in the National Bridge Inspection Standards (23 CFR650.3). These publications are valuable supplements to this guide.

This manual is designed to give practical engineering solutions to engineers who need to implement Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) Guidelines. It is specifically aimed at the engineer who is given the task of implementing conceptual designs, referral agencies who assess these designs and local government who will be responsible for the maintenance of the systems. The manual includes a review of existing documents, design procedures for construction and maintenance, and checking tools, as well as worked examples and engineering plans for commonly used treatment elements including: Sediment basins
On-site retention (infiltration)
Swale/bioretention combinations
Bioretention basins
Buffer strips
Swale systems
Constructed wetlands
Ponds/lakes
Rainwater tanks (sizing for demand)
Sand filters
Aquifer storage and recover

A method which employs microtremor has been introduced for estimating dynamic characteristics of surface
layers, in early 1950. Then usage of this method has received lots of criticism considering uncertainty about
source of microtremor. After an introduction of the Nakamura’s technique (H/V or QTS technique;
Nakamura, 1989), many people have paid a renewed great attention for estimating dynamic characteristics of
ground and structures using microtremor, since clear and reliable information was provided by very simple
and inexpensive noise measurements.
In recent years, although several researchers claimed that theoretical ground of this technique is not clear and
consensus based on experiment couldn’t be reached, there have been many successful experimental studies
based on these technique. Many theoretical studies have been performed, for explaining the amount of types
of waves included in microtremor and checking the applicability of the QTS technique. And some of them
are suggested that the peak on H/V ratio can be explained with the fundamental peak of Rayleigh waves.
From the output of these researches, explanation of microtremor with Rayleigh waves caused some confusion
between users and the author decided to clear out this problem.
The basic idea and the main goal of QTS technique are tried to be re-explained in present paper. The author’s
explanation about the effects of contents of Rayleigh waves in microtremor is also given. Other possible
usage of products from QTS technique (predominant frequency and amplification factor) for hazard
estimation is also given.

Plate structures are used in almost every area of engineering, including aerospace and naval architecture, civil engineering, and electronics. These structures have diverse geometries and have to withstand a wide range of loading conditions. This book provides the theoretical foundations of the theories of plates manufactured from various materials, outlines and illustrates the methods used for the analysis of these structures, and emphasizes designs and solution techniques available to an engineer. The book is written for engineers working in industry, graduate students at aerospace, mechanical, civil engineering and naval architecture departments, and investigators interested in the development of the theory of plates and related subjects. While the mathematical modeling employed in the book is understandable to both engineers and graduate students, the book also provides insight into relevant phenomena and theories underlying plate structures. Thus, the reader is equipped with a thorough understanding of the problems and appropriate assumptions, even if the analysis is conducted using commercially available software codes. In addition, the book includes numerous analytical solutions that can confidently be used in the design of plate structures. The combination of theoretical insight and references to practical problems makes the book equally attractive to academia and industry.

COMPARISON OF NONLINEAR STATIC AND NONLINEAR DYNAMIC ANALYSES IN THE ESTIMATION OF THE MAXIMUM DISPLACEMENT FOR STRUCTURES EQUIPPED WITH VARIOUS DAMPING DEVICES

ABSTRACT
In this study, the nonlinear static (pushover) and nonlinear dynamic procedures in the determination
of maximum displacements of an existing steel structure retrofitted with different methods have been
compared. These methods include the use of the EBF systems; RC Shear Walls and the use of
Passive energy dissipators such as metallic, viscous, viscoelastic and friction dampers. In nonlinear
dynamic procedure, the response of the structure to seven scaled earthquake records has been
obtained and the average value of the responses is used for comparison. At the same time in nonlinear
static procedure, the maximum displacements of the structure in two different load distribution
patterns have been obtained. The results demonstrate that the nonlinear static procedure determines
the maximum displacement of the structure conservatively.
