Book Synopsis Role of Seismic Testing Facilities in Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering by : Michael N. Fardis
Download or read book Role of Seismic Testing Facilities in Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering written by Michael N. Fardis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-07 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays research in earthquake engineering is mainly experimental and in large-scale; advanced computations are integrated with large-scale experiments, to complement them and extend their scope, even by coupling two different but simultaneous tests. Earthquake engineering cannot give answers by testing and qualifying few, small typical components or single large prototypes. Besides, the large diversity of Civil Engineering structures does not allow drawing conclusions from only a few tests; structures are large and their seismic response and performance cannot be meaningfully tested in an ordinary lab or in the field. So, seismic testing facilities should be much larger than in other scientific fields; their staff has to be resourceful, devising intelligent ways to carry out simultaneously different tests and advanced computations. To better serve such a mission European testing facilities and researchers in earthquake engineering have shared their resources and activities in the framework of the European project SERIES, combining their research and jointly developing advanced testing and instrumentation techniques that maximize testing capabilities and increase the value of the tests. This volume presents the first outcomes of the SERIES and its contribution towards Performance-based Earthquake Engineering, i.e., to the most important development in Earthquake Engineering of the past three decades. The concept and the methodologies for performance-based earthquake engineering have now matured. However, they are based mainly on analytical/numerical research; large-scale seismic testing has entered the stage recently. The SERIES Workshop in Ohrid (MK) in Sept. 2010 pooled together the largest European seismic testing facilities, Europe’s best experts in experimental earthquake engineering and select experts from the USA, to present recent research achievements and to address future developments. Audience: This volume will be of interest to researchers and advanced practitioners in structural earthquake engineering, geotechnical earthquake engineering, engineering seismology, and experimental dynamics, including seismic qualification.
Book Synopsis Directions in Strong Motion Instrumentation by : Polat Gülkan
Download or read book Directions in Strong Motion Instrumentation written by Polat Gülkan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-01-14 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strong ground motion measuring and recording instruments play a major role in mitigation of seismic risk. The strong ground motion near the source of an earthquake describes the effects that endanger our built environment, and is also the most detailed clue concerning the source mechanism of the earthquake. The range of complexity that engulfs our understanding of the source parameters of a major earthquake (extent of the source mechanism, stress drop, wave propagation patterns) and how buildings and other works of construction respond to ground-transmitted dynamic effects may be overpowered by improved direct observations. Strong motion seismographs provide the information that enables scientists and engineers to resolve the many issues that are intertwined with practical problems of building safe communities worldwide. They may be installed as arrays close to major fault zones, consisting of many instruments arranged in some geometrical pattern, or in the vicinity and mounted on buildings. This book, which contains papers by invited authorities, represents a unique interaction between seismologists and earthquake engineers who examine issues of mutual concern in an overlapping area of major interest. The papers have been grouped around three major areas. -Seismic Hazard and Extreme Motions -Engineering Uses of Strong Motion Seismograms -Arrays and Observations.

Download or read book Instrumentation for Seismic Data Acquisition and Analysis written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This grant was targeted at the acquisition of seismic instrumentation to aid the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) geophysics group's efforts which involve conducting a wide variety of geophysical studies in the southwestern U.S. The objectives of these studies are to investigate lithospheric structure and seismic wave propagation in the area. The equipment described in the proposal has all been purchased and delivered and has already been put to use. Specifically, we purchased 10 REFTEK portable seismic recording units with GPS clocks, 3 broad-band seismometers, and a SUN workstation with and external disk drive. With this equipment, we are beginning a project in cooperation with the Phillips Laboratory to monitor earthquakes from teleseismic distances on the Colorado Plateau. Also, we employed our new equipment in a just completed major field effort, the Delta Force experiment, where a series of long profiles emanating from near NTS were recorded in May of 1994. One of these profiles lies along the NTS-WSMR transect, one of our ongoing efforts, and others tie to recent experiments in the region (PACE, BARGE, NPE/SSCD). Thanks to the cooperation of the National Science Foundation, Cal Tech was able to obtain funding to enhance this experiment with another shotpoint. The end result of these efforts is a series of interlocking seismic profiles which should greatly enhance our knowledge of lithospheric structure and wave propagation in the NTS region. A brief description of the Delta Force experiment follows.

Book Synopsis Blast Vibration Analysis by : G. A. Bollinger
Download or read book Blast Vibration Analysis written by G. A. Bollinger and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1980 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An aid to those who make and interpret blast vibration measurements, this book serves as an especially useful and timely introduction Wave phenomena are a familiar part of everyone’s experience. Water waves are perhaps the most graphic, but the existence of sound waves, light waves, and electromagnetic radio and television waves is also well known. The destructive effect of earthquake waves receives widespread publicity. It is thus obvious that gases, liquids, and solids will support wave motion. For the understanding and analysis of blast vibrations, scientists and engineers require a sophisticated understanding of wave phenomena. G. A. Bollinger in Blast Vibration Analysis makes an important contribution to this study focusing on the origin, transmission, and types of elastic wave in solid media. The physical laws involved in waves analysis as well as the mathematical tools needed to specify and analyze the variety of wave phenomena encountered in nature are also provided. Mr. Bollinger synthesizes the theory and literature from the seismological, geophysical, and engineering disciplines pertinent to the subject area of blast vibrations induced by quarrying, mining, and engineering operations. While the theory and analytical techniques presented do apply to vibrations from earthquakes and nuclear explosions, the author avoids developing a specific consideration of those latter phenomena. However, he applies the analytical tools that have been so highly refined in earthquake engineering, earthquake seismology, and seismic exploration for petroleum, i.e., digital and spectral analyses, to the blast vibration problem. Dividing his book into five textual chapters, Mr. Bollinger devotes the first two to a detailed consideration of seismic waves, both from a general physical viewpoint as well as from the effects of blasting. The third chapter covers the mathematical theory of the seismograph along with examples of instruments currently used by professionals. A very specific discussion of the analysis of blast vibrations, including steady-state, suddenly-beginning, digital, and trace-matching analyses is presented in the fourth chapter. The concluding chapter considers damage criteria, both American and European, along with the structural and physiological effects of blast vibrations. Mr. Bollinger’s skillful exposition of each of these topics starts at an elementary level—assuming some college engineering or scientific background—proceeds to an intermediate stage, and then suggests directions for more advanced study. While the theoretical presentation is kept general, specific examples and certain relevant points are made with reference to Sprengnether seismic instruments. Each chapter is followed by a list of references, and a bibliography of the field of engineering seismology as a whole appears at the back of the book. Numerous informative tables, figures, graphs, charts, mathematical examples, and photographs of instruments are included in the body of the text. Scientific students and professionals will find Mr. Bollinger’s book stimulating and suggestive of further ranges of study and practice.
