Fundamentals of earthquake-resistant construction

摘要: A concise summary of practical methods that provides insight for earthquake safety in construction is conspicuously missing from the copious literature on earthquakes. This book was conceived to fill void. It examines and recommends procedures resistant rationales their use. The contents are presented three parts. Part One, Causes Characteristics Earthquakes, contains following chapters: (1) Basics; (2) Concepts Definitions; (3) Seismological Evaluation; (4) Geological (5) Forms Ground Motions; (6) Selecting Design Motions. Two, Selection Motions includes (7) Maps Seismic Zones (8) Procedures Earthquake (9) Role Codes Empirical Procedures. 3, Designs consists final nine chapters which are: (10) Acquisition Evaluation Geotechnical Data; (11) Landslides Slope Stability; (12) Liquefaction; (13) Foundation Design; (14) Structural (15) Retaining Structures; (16) Dams; (17) Construction over Active Faults; (18) Strengthening Existing Structures. There two appendices: Definitions Intensity- Magnitude-Related An Index provided.
