Guidance on meeting the Robustness Requirements in Approved Document A (2004 Edition)
info:
This publication provides guidance on designing hot-rolled steel framed buildings to avoid disproportionate collapse. Consideration of disproportionate collapse is required for all buildings in order to satisfy Requirement A3 of Part A of the Building Regulations. Guidance for each of the four classes of building specified in Approved Document A (2004 edition) is provided. The guidance includes explanation of the requirements, advice on which Clauses of BS 5950-1:2000 are applicable to each building type, and practical guidance concerning tying of the structural frame to provide robustness.

The reality of threats to the safety of tall and large buildings was starkly demonstrated by the unprecedented events at the World Trade Center in New York on 11 September 2001. Had these events not occurred, the World Trade Center would no doubt have continued to give many years of excellent service. The buildings were not unsafe by any criterion hitherto regarded as being credible in peacetime.
This Report examines what can be learned from the extreme events of 11 September 2001 for the future design of new buildings and the appraisal of existing ones. The purpose is to assist owners and operators of tall/large buildings and their professional advisers to play their part in reacting to the new threats to the safety of building occupants. The Report presents therefore initial recommendations by the Working Group on ‘Safety in Tall Buildings’following review of damage by extreme events to tall/large buildings at the World Trade Center and elsewhere world wide.

The annual number of airline passengers has continued to increase in the past decade, putting great strain on the airports. Increasing volumes of passengers and freight will continue making demands for expansion of airport facilities and construction of new airports. Traditionally airport design and airport operation have been treated separately, yet they are closely related and influence each other. Poor design adversely affects operation; sound understanding of operation is needed to enable good design. The aim of this book is to present a new and integrated approach to the two. This second edition includes some important changes in the international regulations covering design and operations. It reflects the greater attention being given to security, safety and the environment, together with changes in the technology and the way the air transport industry operates. New sections on collaborative decision making and low visibility operations strengthen the operational character of this book. Two completely new chapters have been added covering the topical problems of cargo and radio navigation aids and the chapter on passenger terminals has been enhanced considerably.

Fault-Zone Properties and Earthquake Rupture Dynamics, Volume 94 (International Geophysics)
info:
Eiichi Fukuyama, "Fault-Zone Properties and Earthquake Rupture Dynamics, Volume 94 (International Geophysics)"
Academic Press (April 6, 2009) | English | 0123744520 | 300 pages | PDF | 12.81 MB
The dynamics of the earthquake rupture process are closely related to fault zone properties which the authors have intensively investigated by various observations in the field as well as by
laboratory experiments. These include geological investigation of the active and fossil faults, physical and chemical features obtained by the laboratory experiments, as well as the seismological estimation from seismic waveforms. Earthquake dynamic rupture can now be modeled using numerical simulations on the basis of field and laboratory observations, which should be very useful for understanding earthquake rupture dynamics.
Features:
* First overview of new and improved techniques in the study of earthquake faulting
* Broad coverage
* Full color
Benefits:
* A must-have for all geophysicists who work on earthquake dynamics
* Single resource for all aspects of earthquake dynamics (from lab measurements to seismological observations to numerical modelling)
* Bridges the disciplines of seismology, structural geology and rock mechanics
* Helps readers to understand and interpret graphs and maps
Also has potential use as a supplementary resource for upper division and graduate geophysics courses.
