Microzonation for Earthquake Risk Mitigation, State of the Art Report
Author: Atilla Ansal, Mustafa Erdik and oth. | Size: 3.61 MB | Format:PDF | Year: 2004 | pages: 114
This state -of-the art report has been undertaken within the DRM-MERM Project to define the
primary framework for the Seismic Zonation Manual, under preparation as the main output of
this project, with the aim of improving the zonation methodology in Turkey. Thus the review
of the literature has been conducted taking into consideration the state-of-the-practice in
Turkey. Even though significant effort has been made to conduct a thorough review, due to
the multi-disciplinary nature of the topic and very large numbers of papers, it would be
unrealistic to claim that all the literature on seismic microzonation and related disciplines
have been reviewed.
The purpose of this report is to review the literature to summarize the state-of-the-art and
state -of-the practice in seismic microzonation that may be considered to be composed of five
different phases as; site characterisation, evaluation of the seismic hazard; estimation of the
ground motion characteristics on the ground surface, assessment of liquefaction susceptibility,
assessment of landslide hazard. Thus in reviewing the literature each phase will be treated
separately and will be considered in sequential stages as; identification and explanation of the
process, compilation of the relevant and needed databases , analysis and interpretation of the
acquired databases. The investigations and suggestions encountered in the literature are
reviewed with the perspective of mainly offering the scientist and engineers in Turkey
information concerning all the stages of seismic microzonation. Therefore the necessary steps
in each and all seismic microzonation components will be considered in terms of consecutive
stages as; quantification of earthquake ground motion, determination of the necessary
geological and geotechnical site conditions, analyses of the available data, engineering
interpretation of the results obtained. The findings and proposals related to all these stages
will be reviewed briefly to give the reader a complete understanding of the whole process.

PhD thesis, HKUST, By Atanda, Adeyemi Israel
Title: Towares ductility enhancement of reinforced concrete structures in regions of moderate seismicity : Hong kong case study
This publication was written to assist practicing Architects with the selection, design and detailing of wall and floor systems incorporating lightweight steel framing (LSF) members for low rise commercial and medium and high rise residential applications. It is the logical complement to the "Lightweight Steel Framing Design Manual" published in 1991 by the CSSBI as a design guide for Structural Engineers.
A general description of lightweight steel framing products is presented along with a review of the advantages of this type of construction. Building science issues are discussed and the application of these principles is illustrated in a specific way for masonry veneer steel stud systems in low-rise commercial construction. A proposal for the allocation of design and construction responsibilities on a typical LSF project is also included. Lastly, a compendium of architecturally relevant technical information is provided:
• Available structural standards, guides and research
• Air leakage data for typical air barrier materials
• Fire ratings for floor and wall assemblies
• Sound transmission class ratings for floor and wall assemblies
• Heat loss data for wall assemblies
• Durability data
• Air leakage data for various air barrier
The Guide does not provide specific information on structural design issues for masonry veneer steel stud wall systems with the exception of the overview on design deflection limits and brick tie selection in Appendix E. Designers are referred to the references in Appendix G and in particular the CSA structural design standards for more information on this topic.

This book provides guidance on the specification, performance, use and interpretation of the Electric Cone Penetration Test (CPU), and in particular the Cone Penetration Test with pore pressure measurement (CPTU) commonly referred to as the "piezocone test".
his is an excellent introductory text on CPT. It includes information on not only electric cone but also piezocone penetration testing. It provides basic knowledge in all conventional areas of CPT testing and application and extensive references for those interested in obtaining additional information in a particular area.

Sediment transport is a book that covers a wide variety of subject matters. It combines the personal and professional experience of the authors on solid particles transport and related problems, whose expertise is focused in aqueous systems and in laboratory flumes. This includes a series of chapters on hydrodynamics and their relationship with sediment transport and morphological development. The different contributions deal with issues such as the sediment transport modeling; sediment dynamics in stream confluence or river diversion, in meandering channels, at interconnected tidal channels system; changes in sediment transport under fine materials, cohesive materials and ice cover; environmental remediation of contaminated fine sediments. This is an invaluable interdisciplinary textbook and an important contribution to the sediment transport field. I strongly recommend this textbook to those in charge of conducting research on engineering issues or wishing to deal with equally important scientific problems.

Author: Paul E. Rosenfeld & Lydia Feng | Size: 4.30 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: William Andrew | Year: 2011 | pages: 472 | ISBN: ISBN10: 1437778429 & ISBN13: 9781437778427
Book Description:
Hazardous waste in the environment is one of the most difficult challenges facing our society. The purpose of this book is to provide a background of the many aspects of hazardous waste, from its sources to its consequences, focusing on the risks posed to human health and the environment. It explains the legislation and regulations surrounding hazardous waste -- however, the scope of the book is much broader, discussing agents that are released into the environment that might not be classified as Hazardous Waste under the regulatory system, but nonetheless pose substantial hazards to human health and the environment. It provides a background of some of the major generators of hazardous wastes, explains the pathways by which humans and wildlife are exposed, and includes discussion of the adverse health effects linked to these pollutants. It provides numerous case studies of hazardous waste mismanagement that have led to disastrous consequences. And highlights the deficiencies in science and regulation that have allowed the public to be subjected to a myriad of potentially hazardous agents. Finally, it provides a discussion of measures that will necessarily need to be taken to control society's hazardous waste problem. This book was designed to appeal to a wide range of audiences, including students, professionals, and general readers interested in the topic.
