Book Synopsis Earthquake Microzoning by : Antoni Roca
Download or read book Earthquake Microzoning written by Antoni Roca and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many past and recent earthquakes it has been shown that the local conditions and, in particular, the local geology have a great influence on the observed seismic ground motion and, consequently, on the damage distribution in housing, industrial stock, and life-lines. Seismic microzoning is the usual procedure to have these local effects taken into account for engineering design and land-use planning, being a useful tool for earthquake risk mitigation. This volume presents a collection of papers mainly originated from a workshop on Seismic Microzoning, organized during the 23rd General Assembly of the European Geophysical Society (EGS) in Nice, France in April 1998. The workshop dealt with various geophysical tools for analysing the effects of the local soils of subsurface geology on seismic ground motion, namely the methods using experimental data such as microtremors, and the theoretical/numerical 1-D and 2-D modelling methods. Additional contributions discussing techniques for characterising soil properties, microzoning applications to several urban areas, and others were added to the volume to broaden this important topic.

Book Synopsis The Seismic Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings by : Antonio Aguilar (Architect)
Download or read book The Seismic Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings written by Antonio Aguilar (Architect) and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Preservation Brief provides information on how earthquakes affect historic buildings, how a historic preservation ethic can guide responsible retrofit decisions, and how various methods of seismic rehabilitation can protect human lives and historic structures. The Brief provides a description of the most common vulnerabilities of various building construction types and the seismic strengthening methods most often needed to remedy them. A glossary of technical terms is also provided at the end of the Brief. Undertaking the seismic rehabilitation of a historic building is a process that requires careful planning and execution, and the coordinated work of architects, engineers, code officials, contractors, and agency administrators. Project personnel working together can ensure that the architectural, structural, financial, programmatic, cultural, and social values of historic buildings are preserved, while rendering them safe for continued use.

Book Synopsis Seismic Retrofit of Unreinforced Masonry Infills in Non-ductile Reinforced Concrete Frames Using Engineered Cementitious Composites by : Marios Kyriakides
Download or read book Seismic Retrofit of Unreinforced Masonry Infills in Non-ductile Reinforced Concrete Frames Using Engineered Cementitious Composites written by Marios Kyriakides and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masonry infills in non-ductile reinforced concrete frames can be found in many places around the world, such as the western United States, China, and in countries of the Mediterranean region. There is strong laboratory and field evidence that masonry infills can improve the performance of reinforced concrete structures, as demonstrated in the 1994 Northridge earthquake. However, many masonry-infilled reinforced concrete buildings suffered catastrophic failures in recent earthquakes such as in the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake in Turkey and the 2008 Sichuan earthquake in China, causing the death of hundreds of people and affecting the lives of millions. A new seismic retrofit technique specifically for unreinforced masonry infills in non-ductile reinforced concrete frames has been developed. The technique uses a sprayable, ductile fiber-reinforced cement based material referred to as Engineered Cementitious Composites, or ECC. Small-scale component experiments including compression tests of masonry prisms and flexural tests of masonry beams retrofitted with different ECC retrofit schemes were conducted to investigate the impact of the retrofit on the performance of masonry in terms of strength, stiffness and ductility. The findings of the small-scale component experiments were used for the development of the ECC retrofit design. Four 1/5-scale masonry infilled non-ductile reinforced frames - one with an unretrofitted masonry wall and three with retrofitted masonry walls - were subjected to quasi-static, in-plane cyclic loading to validate the retrofit design. It was found that when a thin layer of ductile cement-based retrofit is applied to the masonry wall and properly tied into the concrete frame, the deformation capacity of the infilled frame is increased 10 times through a rocking motion. In collaboration with researchers from The University of Colorado, at Boulder and The University of California, San Diego, the retrofit design was evaluated through a quasi-static, in-plane cyclic test of a 2/3-scale masonry infilled non-ductile reinforced concrete frame and a dynamic shake-table test of a 2/3-scale, three-story, two-bay masonry infilled non-ductile reinforced concrete frame. These tests demonstrated that the ECC retrofit can significantly improve the performance of this type of structure under cyclic loads and seismic excitation. Existing analytical models for the prediction of the lateral strength and failure mode of masonry infilled reinforced concrete frames subjected to in-plane lateral load are evaluated through a limit analysis method. New analytical models for such structures with ECC retrofitted masonry walls are proposed. Two-dimensional non-linear finite element analyses using two different micro-modeling approaches are used to simulate unreinforced masonry beams retrofitted with a thin layer of ECC under four-point bending. In a detailed approach each material is modeled independently and in a simplified approach, expanded brick units with zero thickness mortar elements are used. The adequacy of these models to capture the experimental response of ECC strengthened masonry beams under out-of-plane bending is examined. The impact of the amount and location of reinforcement in the ECC layer, and of the use of anchors as a method of improvement of the bond between the ECC layer and the masonry surface is also examined through simulation. Two-dimensional non-linear finite element analyses are conducted to asses the ability of various smeared and discrete crack modeling approaches in a commercial finite element program for capturing the response of masonry infilled non-ductile reinforced concrete frames. A methodology for simulating this type of structures with ECC retrofitted walls in two dimensions is also presented.

Download or read book Seismic Assessment and Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings written by S. Tanvir Wasti and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume contains a total of 23 papers centred on the research area of Seismic Assessment and Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings. This subject also forms the core of Project SfP977231, sponsored by the NATO Science for Peace Office and supported by the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey [ TUBIT AK ]. Most of these papers were presented by the authors at a NATO Science for Peace Workshop held in Izmir on 13 - 14 May, 2003 and reflect a part of their latest work conducted within the general confines of the title of the NATO Project. Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey serves as the hub of Project SfP977231 and coordinates research under the project with universities within Turkey, e. g. Istanbul Technical University and Kocaeli University, and with partner institutions in Greece and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia: A few articles have also been contributed by invited experts, who are all noted researchers in the field. Altogether, the contents of the volume deal with a vast array of problems in Seismic Assessment and Rehabilitation and cover a wide range of possible solutions, techniques and proposals. It is intended to touch upon many of these aspects separately below. Earthquakes constitute possibly the most widely spread and also the most feared of natural hazards. Recent earthquakes within the first six months of 2003, such as the Bingol Earthquake in Turkey and the Algerian earthquake, have caused both loss of life and severe damage to property.
