Seismic Isolation for Designers and Structural Engineers
by
Trevor E. Kelly of Holmes Consulting Group,
R. Ivan Skinner and
Bill (W. H.) Robinson of Robinson Seismic Limited.
The seismic isolation technology helps in protecting structures from earthquake damage. This book provides both theory and practical aspects of seismic isolation technique. It is an extract of more than three decades of in-hand experience on the seismic isolation systems by the authors of the book. With the help of this book a professional can have preliminary designs of the structures in order to avoid impossible constraints and, therefore, they can check the risk analysis of the designs before hand. This publication contains 380 printed pages along with a CD having the explanatory notes, videos, Excel Data sheet and presentations related to Isolation Technique. The broad contents of the monograph are:
· Introduction
· General Features of Structures with Seismic Isolation
· Isolator Devices and Systems
· Engineering Properties of Isolators
· Isolation System Design
· Effect of Isolation on Buildings
· Seismic Isolation of Buildings and Bridges
· Applications of Seismic Isolation
· Implementation Issues
· Feasibility Assessment, Evaluation and Further Development of Seismic Isolation
