This Venezuelan Standard establishes general provisions for seismic analysis and design for industrial installations (oil and non-oil) located within the national territory.
The Standard does not include buildings, whose analysis and design, by the Venezuelan code shall be governed COVENIN 1756.
In Annex A of this standard, comments explaining its contents are included.

This book presents comparative design as an approach to the conceptual design of structures. Primarily focusing on reasonable structural performance, sustainable development and architectural aesthetics, it features detailed studies of structural performance through the composition and de-composition of these elements for a variety of structures, such as high-rise buildings, long-span crossings and spatial structures. The latter part of the book addresses the theoretical basis and practical implementation of knowledge engineering in structural design, and a case-based fuzzy reasoning method is introduced to illustrate the concept and method of intelligent design. The book is intended for civil engineers, structural designers and architects, as well as senior undergraduate and graduate students in civil engineering and architecture. Lin Shaopei and Huang Zhen are both Professors at the Department of Civil Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China

Building Sustainable Futures: Design and the Built Environment
Author(s)/Editor(s): Mohammad Dastbaz and Ian Strange | Size: 19 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2015 | pages: 351 | ISBN: 3319193473
This book presents state-of-the-art research and case studies on new approaches to the design, construction and planning of our cities. Emphasis is placed on the role of alternative and renewable energy in the development of urban infrastructures that enable sustainable futures. Reflecting the multi-faceted efforts required to successfully meet sustainability challenges, this book is a collaboration between practitioners and academics across a broad spectrum of specializations. Compelling research findings are explained in the context of practical implementation, enhanced by case studies from industry leaders in order to create a pragmatic reference across policy areas where environmentally aware decision making is required.

Fracture and Damage Mechanics for Structural Engineering of Frames: State-of-the-Art Industrial Applications
Author(s)/Editor(s): Julio Flórez-López, Julio Flórez-López, María Eugenia Marante, Ricardo Picón | Size: 62 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: IGI Global | Year: 2014 | pages: 602 | ISBN: 1466663790
The certification of the structural integrity of buildings, bridges, and mechanical components is one of the main goals of engineers. For civil engineers especially, understanding the tools available for infrastructure analysis is an essential part of designing, constructing, and maintaining safe and reliable structures.
Fracture and Damage Mechanics for Structural Engineering of Frames: State-of-the-Art Industrial Applications outlines the latest computational tools, models, and methodologies surrounding the analysis of wall and frame load support and resilience. Emphasizing best practices in computational simulation for civil engineering applications, this reference work is invaluable to postgraduate students, academicians, and engineers in the field.

This standard applies Venezuelan seismic analysis of industrial plants - oil and non-oil companies- such as cantilevered structures on the basis of reinforced concrete or steel, vertical vessels supported on a skirt or a support structure, fireplaces, furnaces, towers , silos and other facilities of similar configuration, essentially horizontal structures on foundations, columns or walls of reinforced concrete or steel drums, heat exchangers, pipe bridges, fields, air coolers.
This Standard should be used in conjunction with COVENIN 3621 code.
For application to a particular installation, it is required to know the geographical location, the degree of risk and the geotechnical characteristics of the site foundation.

NZSEE- Guidelines for Building Safety Evaluation During a State of Emergency.
Author(s)/Editor(s): New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering. | Size: 1,05 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: NZSEE | Year: 2009 | pages: 49
The Gisborne earthquake of 20 December 2007 provided a timely reminder that it is crucial to quickly evaluate the safety of buildings and determine whether or not they are suitable for occupancy. Gisborne District Council’s actions in response to the earthquake followed the processes defined in the NZSEE Guidelines. These actions served to reassure the community that the Council was in control of the situation and to reduce anxiety amongst owners by providing rapid and authoritative decisions on the safety of their buildings and their suitability for occupation.
The primary aim of this document is to provide territorial authorities with guidance to prepare for and manage effectively a process of structural safety evaluations of damaged buildings. The focus of this document is on the rapid assessment of buildings to be carried out during the period of a state of emergency declared under the Civil Defence Emergency Management Act 2002, as may follow a major earthquake or other disaster which affects a significant number of building structures.
The scope of these Guidelines covers the Rapid Assessment of buildings to be carried out during a state of emergency declared under the Civil Defence Emergency Act 2002.
These Guidelines address disaster scenarios where there is extensive damage to buildings (residential, commercial or industrial) and infrastructure (roads, bridges, water supplies, electricity supply, telephone communications etc) over a large area, and people are likely to have been killed and injured, possibly numbering in the hundreds. The focus of this document is for the period from when the initial reconnaissance has been completed until the emergency declaration is lifted. The initial reconnaissance by emergency services and the territorial authority is necessary so that the extent of the problem is understood and areas of major concern have been identified.
