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.

This key text addresses the topic of lightweight claddings in buildings and is a useful guide and key reference resource. Written by well-known specialists in the field, this new edition of an established text has been revised throughout to incorporate the latest environmental issues and use of new materials, particularly the new moulded materials. Two new chapters cover wood and terracotta in cladding. The main types of cladding systems are described in detail and methods of production, performance characteristics, applications and methods of assembly are explained clearly. Illustrated throughout with photographs and numerous line drawings, this is an essential overview of the subject for both the student and the practising architect.

CISC - Moment Connections for Seismic Applications
Info:
Edition: 2008
Publisher: Canadian Institute of Steel Construction
ISBN: 0888111061
Length: 46 pages
Pdf: 1.1 Mb
Clause 27 of CSA Standard S16-01 stipulates performance criteria for beam-to-column connections for Ductile (Type D) Moment-Resisting Frames and for Moderately Ductile (Type MD) Moment-Resisting Frames and requires that they be met by means of physical testing. Connections for Limited-Ductility (Type LD) Moment-Resisting Frames may either be qualified by testing or be proportioned and detailed in accordance with the specific requirements provided in Clause 27.4.
This CISC publication concentrates on the design criteria for some of the beam-to-column connections provided in FEMA 350 'Recommended Seismic Design Criteria for New Steel Moment-Frame Buildings' (FEMA 2000a). It is intended to be used in conjunction with the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC 1995 and 2005), and CSA Standard S16-01, Limit States Design of Steel Structures.

Plant engineers are responsible for a wide range of industrial activities, and may work in any industry. This means that breadth of knowledge required by such professionals is so wide that previous books addressing plant engineering have either been limited to only certain subjects or cursory in their treatment of topics. The Plant Engineering Handbook offers comprehensive coverage of an enormous range of subjects which are of vital interest to the plant engineer and anyone connected with industrial operations or maintenance.
This handbook is packed with indispensable information, from defining just what a Plant Engineer actually does, through selection of a suitable site for a factory and provision of basic facilities (including boilers, electrical systems, water, HVAC systems, pumping systems and floors and finishes) to issues such as lubrication, corrosion, energy conservation, maintenance and materials handling as well as environmental considerations, insurance matters and financial concerns. One of the major features of this volume is its comprehensive treatment of the maintenance management function; in addition to chapters which outline the operation of the various plant equipment there is specialist advice on how to get the most out of that equipment and its operators. This will enable the reader to reap the rewards of more efficient operations, more effective employee contributions and in turn more profitable performance from the plant and the business to which it contributes.
The Editor, Keith Mobley and the team of expert contributors, have practiced at the highest levels in leading corporations across the USA, Europe and the rest of the world.
Produced in association with Plant Engineering magazine, this book will be a source of information for plant engineers in any industry worldwide.

This guide, produced as part of the Eureka CIMsteel project, is a companion document to the Design for Manufacture Guidelines produced under phase 1 of the project. The general aim of the document is to raise awareness of the effects that basic design decisions can have on the overall buildability and cost of a building. The right decisions can help to reduce conflict in the design and construction process, and reduce the likelihood of expensive remedial work. The document is primarily intended for use by practising engineers and engineering students, but also has relevance to quantity surveyors, architects, estimators and fabricators, i.e. the various parties associated with steel construction. Its scope is therefore limited to the steel frame itself, and those components which interface directly with the frame. Basic design decisions can have a considerable effect on the overall buildability and cost of a building. The right choices can help to reduce conflict in the design and construction process, and to reduce the likelihood of expensive remedial work. Guidance on the issues to be considered when designing for construction are described, to help the designer choose an appropriate frame layout, and to make decisions concerning more detailed aspects of the frame. This guidance is supported by more extensive information given later in the publication. In order to make the right design choices, the designer needs an understanding of the construction process. An overview of site practice is therefore included. One of the keys to producing an ‘efficient’ frame design is to pay particular attention to interfaces with other building components.

This book includes advanced topics like dynamic response, external pressure vessels, and bolted joint design that are difficult to find covered (other than at the most elementary, approximate level) anywhere else. Chapters on more traditional subjects present material at a deeper level than other sources. In-depth discussion of each topic describes the strong points and limitations of the analysis, and simple design formulae are given for those who don’t like complex mathematical derivations. This book should appeal to both people that want an in-depth understanding of advanced stress analysis and those who want to look up an easily-understood formula.

Review
"This is a beautifully written book and the addition of material on anisotropy, finite deformation, and viscous fluids is very desirable."
