About the Book

This book contains papers presented at the Eighth International Conference on Earthquake Resistant Engineering Structures organised by the Wessex Institute of Technology. The problem of protecting the built environment in earthquake-prone regions of the world involves not only the optimal design and construction of new facilities, but also the upgrading and rehabilitation of existing structures and infrastructures in heritage buildings. The inestimable loss of life and the colossal costs following a major earthquake in a metropolitan area provides sufficient reason for the scientific and technical communities to respond to the challenges. This volume contains papers covering the following topics: The 2009 Abuzzo Earthquake; Seismic Isolation and Energy Dissipation; Ground Motion; Soil Structure Interaction; Structural Performance.

Table of Contents:
Section 1: The 2009 Abruzzo Earthquake: site effects and seismic isolation (Special session organised by Michele Maugeri) Seismic action to withstand the structures: the case history of 2009 Abruzzo earthquake; Features, recent application and conditions for the correct use of seismic isolation systems; Site effects and site amplification due to the 2009 Abruzzo earthquake; Application of seismic isolation in the retrofit of historical buildings Section 2: Seismic isolation and energy dissipation Adaptable dual control systems for earthquake resistance; Energy-based evaluation of seismic response of structures with passive and active systems; Vibrobase insulation of a building excited by the technical seismicity effect of tube railway operation; Behaviour of steel reinforced concrete beam-column joints Section 3: Ground motion Developing a 7.5-sec site-condition map for Japan based on geomorphologic classification; Coherency between ground motions synthesized for analysis input of a large span structure; Role of hysteretic damping in the earthquake response of ground; Ground-motion simulation for the eastern province of Saudi Arabia using a stochastic model Section 4: Soil structure interaction Nonlinear vibrations of piles in viscoelastic foundations; Evaluation of response characteristics of buried pipelines during earthquakes; Dynamic interaction of adjacent tall building structures on deep foundations; Moment formulation for random eigenvalue problems in beams Section 5: Structural performance Safety evaluation for dams against different modes of surface faults induced by earthquakes; Garigliano nuclear power plant: seismic evaluation of the turbine building; Seismic history analysis of asymmetrical adjacent buildings with soil-structure interaction consideration; Seismic strengthening of churches as a part of earthquake renewal in the Posocje region, Slovenia; Analysis of seismic stability of shells of revolution using probabilistic methods; Evaluating a rigid-plastic method to estimate the earthquake ductility demand on structures; Comparison of buckling load for H-shaped compression members with different eccentric bracing methods; The effects of multiple vertical baffles on sloshing phenomenon in rectangular tanks; Masonry block construction in Haiti; Interpretation of microseismic effects from response to large coal mine blasts
