Soil Liquefaction during Recent Large-Scale Earthquakes contains selected papers presented at the New Zealand β Japan Workshop on Soil Liquefaction during Recent Large-Scale Earthquakes (Auckland, New Zealand, 2-3 December 2013).
The 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes in New Zealand and the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake in Japan have caused significant damage to many residential houses due to varying degrees of soil liquefaction over a very wide extent of urban areas unseen in past destructive earthquakes. While soil liquefaction occurred in naturally-sedimented soil formations in Christchurch, most of the areas which liquefied in Tokyo Bay area were reclaimed soil and artificial fill deposits, thus providing researchers with a wide range of soil deposits to characterize soil and site response to large-scale earthquake shaking.
Although these earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan caused extensive damage to life and property, they also serve as an opportunity to understand better the response of soil and building foundations to such large-scale earthquake shaking. With the wealth of information obtained in the aftermath of both earthquakes, information-sharing and knowledge-exchange are vital in arriving at liquefaction-proof urban areas in both countries. Data regarding the observed damage to residential houses as well as the lessons learnt are essential for the rebuilding efforts in the coming years and in mitigating buildings located in regions with high liquefaction potential.
As part of the MBIE-JSPS collaborative research programme, the Geomechanics Group of the University of Auckland and the Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory of the University of Tokyo co-hosted the workshop to bring together researchers to review the findings and observations from recent large-scale earthquakes related to soil liquefaction and discuss possible measures to mitigate future damage.
Soil Liquefaction during Recent Large-Scale Earthquakes will be of great interest to researchers, academics, industry practitioners and other professionals involved in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering, Foundation Engineering, Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics.

if any of you wants to tell us about the price of engineering in your country ....
for example:
Country : Venezuela
Price Engineering Hours: 5$ (price blackmarket, the dollar is not free for buying)
Hours Drawings: 35-45 H
Calculation: 50-250 H (depend the proyect)
Steel Plate Shear Walls are an effective and economical method of resisting lateral forces on structures due to wind and earthquakes.
This project use Steel Plate Shear Wall in a ten story building. This project use Strip model to analysis steel plate shear wall.
This file has a Excel program to calculate parameter in strip model. Also, the screen shot of chapter 20 of CSA-S16-09, is added in the second sheet for more details.

This innovative volume provides a systematic treatment of the basic concepts and computational procedures for structural motion design and engineering for civil installations. The authors illustrate the application of motion control to a wide spectrum of buildings through many examples. Topics covered include optimal stiffness distributions for building-type structures, the role of damping in controlling motion, tuned mass dampers, base isolation systems, linear control, and nonlinear control. The book's primary objective the satisfaction of motion-related design requirements such as restrictions on displacement and acceleration and seeks the optimal deployment of material stiffness and motion control devices to achieve these design targets as well as satisfy constraints on strength. The book is ideal for practicing engineers and graduate students.

Terrorist actions of the last decade obviously determine a reconsideration of the buildings safety, especially for those with special destinations (embassies, military facilities, nuclear plants etc.). Thus, the conception phase should include nowadays scenarios with exceptional actions, other than seismic loads:
impact, explosion, failure of supports. It is well-known that, after earthquakes, the most situations of structural collapse are determined by the terrorist attack using explosive. Even
more, it has been assessed that the main reason of loss of life is not the explosion itself, but the partial or total collapse of the exposed building. In order to secure the structural integrity,
collapse analysis should be taken into account as a complex phenomenon, composed of many processes that could be studied separately or as an ensemble. These processes are: the extreme action causes, design requirements, vulnerability
of the structure, starting and development of the collapse, its final effects. Study of these processes leads to additional special measures for design stage and, on the other hand, to valuable knowledge for controlled demolition of tall buildings, as part of bold urbanism projects in densely populated zones. Considering the above mentioned facts, this paper presents the results of a thorough analysis of a frame structure under explosive loads. The first part of the paper refers to the analysis of a phenomena assembly related to explosion and to the effects resulting from a terrorist attack using explosives (structural elements deterioration and failure, collapse initiation and eventual total failure). The second part of the paper presents an original approach to analyze a building structure
under extreme loads, using both classical (pushover) and modern (applied element method).
