This book was released on 2018-08-13 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book features chapters based on selected presentations from the International Congress on Advanced Earthquake Resistance of Structures, AERS2016, held in Samsun, Turkey, from 24 to 28 October 2016. It covers the latest advances in three widely popular research areas in Earthquake Engineering: Performance-Based Seismic Design, Seismic Isolation Systems, and Structural Health Monitoring. The book shows the vulnerability of high-rise and seismically isolated buildings to long periods of strong ground motions, and proposes new passive and semi-active structural seismic isolation systems to protect against such effects. These systems are validated through real-time hybrid tests on shaking tables. Structural health monitoring systems provide rapid assessment of structural safety after an earthquake and allow preventive measures to be taken, such as shutting down the elevators and gas lines, before damage occurs. Using the vibration data from instrumented tall buildings, the book demonstrates that large, distant earthquakes and surface waves, which are not accounted for in most attenuation equations, can cause long-duration shaking and damage in tall buildings. The overview of the current performance-based design methodologies includes discussions on the design of tall buildings and the reasons common prescriptive code provisions are not sufficient to address the requirements of tall-building design. In addition, the book explains the modelling and acceptance criteria associated with various performance-based design guidelines, and discusses issues such as selection and scaling of ground motion records, soil-foundation-structure interaction, and seismic instrumentation and peer review needs. The book is of interest to a wide range of professionals in earthquake engineering, including designers, researchers, and graduate students.

Download or read book Lightweight Aggregate Concrete written by Satish Chandra and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2002-10-28 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of the increasing use and demand for lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC), there is still a lack of adequate explanations to understand the mechanisms responsible for the strength and durability properties of LWAC. This book is written to give an overall picture of LWAC, from the historical background, aggregate production, proportioning and production of concrete, to applications in structures. Physical properties and chemical durability are described in detail. The physical properties include density, strength, shrinkage, and elasticity. Chemical durability includes resistance to acids, chloride ingress, carbonation, and freeze-thaw resistance. Fire resistance is also included, which is seldom considered, but is a very important aspect of the safety of the structure. Microstructure development and its relation to the durability properties of LWAC generally are not highlighted in the literature. The development of bonds, the microstructure with different binder systems, and different types of lightweight aggregates are explained. They show how lightweight aggregate concrete differs from normal weight concrete. The chapters on chloride ingress and freeze-thaw resistance are detailed because of the use of LWAC in offshore construction. The economical aspects of using LWAC are also reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the fact that although the cost of LWAC is high, the total cost of construction has to be considered, including the cost of transport, reinforcement, etc. When these are considered then LWAC becomes cheaper and attractive. The life cycle cost of the concrete is another consideration for calculating long-term savings on maintenance costs.

This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments must work tirelessly to update their preparedness for dealing with natural and man-made disasters, as well as taking account of the increasingly present threat of terrorism. Efficient international cooperation is key to achieving safety and internationalizing security policy. This book presents the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) Engaging the Public to Fight the Consequences of Terrorism and Disasters, held in Tbilisi, Georgia, in June 2014. The purpose of the workshop was to analyze accumulated European theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the field of disaster prevention and the involvement of the public in preventing and fighting the consequences of terrorism, as well as natural and man-made disasters. There was a particular focus on the perspective of the region, especially with a view to meeting European Union standards and setting uniform and independent standards for hazard and risk assessment methods. The protection of economically critical infrastructure, such as dams, pipelines and transport and storage facilities, was addressed as were the issues of managing water and non-renewable resources, the disposal of dangerous chemicals and radioactive waste, and defensible methods of transport for fuel supplies and key personnel. Contributions reflected the extensive experience of the participating NATO and partner countries, including Armenia, Austria, Bulgaria, Georgia, Germany, Italy, Moldova, the Netherlands, Romania, Turkey and Ukraine as well as international organizations such as UNECE and NATO.
Book Synopsis Seismic Performance of Composite Beam-columns by : Shannon D. Paboojian

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "An experimental study was undertaken to investigate the cyclic strength and ductility of composite columns subjected to simulatedseismic loading conditions. Eight two-thirds scale specimens were tested, each consisting of a structural steel shape encased in reinforcedconcrete. Parameters studied in the test program included: the degree of concrete confinement required to achieve adequate ductility; the effectiveness of shear studs for developing flexural stiffness and capacity under combined loading; the distribution of transverse shear resistance among the elements of the composite column; and concrete compressive strength. The results of the test program indicate that composite columns possess exceptional ductility and strength under cyclic loading if the buckling of longitudinal reinforcement is inhibited. Furthermore, the steel shape provides the primary resistance to transverse shear during overloading, and shear studs are not effective in enhancing the resistance against lateral loading. The elastic secant stiffness of the composite section corresponding to initial yielding of the longitudinal reinforcement was found to be well approximated by using one-half the gross moment of inertia (0.5I[subscript g]) in conjunction with Young's modulus for concrete. A prediction method based on superimposing the individual strengths of the reinforced concrete and structural steel shape was found to provide good agreement with test results. Current AISC LRFD provisions were determined to grossly underestimate the flexural capacity of the test specimens, which were axially loaded to 20% of their nominal pure axial load capacity [sic]."
