Increasing Seismic safety by Combining Engineering Technologies and Seismological Data
Author: Marco Mucciarelli et al | Size: 35.5 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2007 | pages: 386 | ISBN: 9781402091964
Under the title “Increasing Seismic Safety by Combining Engineering Technologies and Seismological Data”, we grouped several topics to be discussed
together by engineers and seismologists:
1. Can we use ambient noise building and soil characterisation to extract useful information for engineers?
2. How we can tell apart a frequency decrease due to distributed damage, concentrated damage, time-varying building and soil behaviour?
3. Which is the role of transients in ambient noise analysis?
4. Can we quantify the influence of existing buildings on ground-motion recordings (both noise and earthquake)?
5. To which extent soil-building resonance is a cause of damage enhancement?
6. How to couple soil and building non-linear behaviour?

The five volume series, Barry’s Construction of Buildings, has been established as a standard text on building technology for many years. However, a substantial update has long been required, and while doing this the opportunity has been taken to reduce five volumes to two in a more user-friendly format.
The introductory volume covers domestic construction and brings together material from volumes 1, 2 and part of 5. The extensive revision includes modern concepts on site assembly, environmental issues and safety, and features further reading.

Document title:
Direct displacement-based seismic design of concrete buildings
Author(s):
PRIESTLEY M. J. N. and KOWALSKY M. J.
Abstract
A seismic design procedure is developed to enable concrete buildings to be designed to achieve a specified acceptable level of damage under the design earthquake. The acceptable limit is defined as a displacement profile related to limit material strains or code specified drift limits. In this procedure, the elastic properties, including initial stiffness, strength and period, are the end product of the design rather than the starting point. It is shown that the procedure is simple to apply, and results in significant differences from the more conventional force-based procedure. Designs for multi-storey frame and wall buildings are presented, and target displacements are compared with results from inelastic time-history analysis.

ABOUT THIS BOOK
This volume represents the proceedings of the First International Conference on Sustainability in Energy and Buildings, SEB’09, held in the City of Brighton and Hove in the United Kingdom, organised by KES International with the assistance of the World Renewable Energy Congress / Network, and hosted by the University of Brighton.
KES International is a knowledge transfer organisation, which for over a decade has provided high-quality conference events and publishing opportunities for researchers in the area of Knowledge Based and Intelligent information and Engineering Systems. KES International is a community consisting of several thousand research scientists and engineers who participate in KES activities. Now KES is starting to make a contribution in the area of Sustainability and Renewable Energy with this first conference in a series dedicated to renewable energy and its application to domestic and other buildings.
In addition to featuring papers from a range of Renewable Energy and Sustainability related topics, SEB’09 was intended to explore two innovative themes:-
- The application of intelligent sensing, control, optimisation and modelling techniques to sustainability;
- The technology of sustainable buildings.
This volume contains 43 papers selected from a much larger number of submissions after reviews by experts in the field. The papers are grouped in the themes under which they were presented, namely Smart Sustainability, Solar and Wind Energy, Technologies for Sustainable Buildings, Clean and Renewable Energy, Engineering Intelligence and Energy Technologies, Building Energy Efficiency and Performance and Novel Techniques for Energy Efficiency.
We believe these proceedings will form a record of recent research results, useful for engineers, students, professionals, managers and many others working in this leading-edge field.
