About the Book

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. The latter is a laborious and expensive task, which can be accomplished only gradually. However the inestimable loss of life and the colossal costs following a major earthquake in a metropolitan area, provide sufficient reason to make it an important challenge for the scientific and technical community. ERES 2009 is the Seventh International Conference in the series and the topics include: Earthquake resistant design, Seismic behaviour and vulnerability, Structural dynamics, Passive protection devices, Seismic isolation, Site effects and geotechnical aspects, Development and application of passive anti-seismic systems, Bridges, Lifelines, Material characterization, Experimental studies, Numerical simulation.

Table of Contents:
Section 1: Earthquake resistant design 3-D analytical method for the discontinuous behaviour of large dams against surface earthquake faults; Behavior and analysis of masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frames subjected to lateral load; Influence of steel bars in monolithic floor slabs on the yielding-damage mechanism of frame structures; Connection characteristics in seismic proof steel construction Section 2: Seismic behaviour and vulnerability Effect of elastic columns on the mechanism of damage control for steel structures in Japan and the USA; Seismic stability of tall retaining walls with traffic surcharge; Assessment of buildings response to earthquakes; Seismic behaviour of Simple Masonry BuildingsA" according to EN 1998 Section 3: Structural dynamics Kinematic interaction of a single pile in heterogeneous soil; Seismic analysis of plane linear systems with semi-rigid connections; Estimation of the maximum allowable drift at the top of a shear wall (within elastic limits); Modeling and analysis of factors affecting seismic pounding of adjacent multi-story buildings; Dynamic analyses of adjacent buildings connected by fluid viscous dampers Section 4: Passive protection devices Steel fiber high-strength reinforced concrete: a new solution for earthquake strengthening of old R/C structures; Dual earthquake resistant frames; Optimum design of tuned mass damper systems for seismic structures; Generalized Den Hartog tuned mass damper system for control of vibrations in structures Section 5: Seismic isolation Response analysis and vibroinsulation of buildings subject to technical seismicity; Multi-storey structures with compound seismic isolation; On the dynamic response of hardening systems; Mechanical devices to control, limit and attenuate shocks, vibrations and seismic movements in buildings, equipment and piping networks Section 6: Site effects and geotechnical aspects Seismic response of cracked soil deposits; Seismic technique to determine the allowable bearing pressure in soils and rocks; Some issues on forecast of strong ground motion field; Forecast of strong ground motion field near the fault for earthquake disaster reduction in urban areas Section 7: Development and application of passive anti-seismic systems Progress of the application of passive anti-seismic systems; State of the art of the development and application of seismic isolation and energy dissipation technologies for buildings in Japan; State of the art of the application of seismic isolation and energy dissipation systems to civil structures in Cyprus; Seismic isolation for three buildings in Nicosia; Seismic isolation for a wide span glazed roof; Recent applications of Italian anti-seismic devices Section 8: Bridges The behaviour of Akashi Kaikyo Bridge under multi support seismic excitation for low frequency motions; Shear deformation effect in the dynamic analysis of plates stiffened by parallel beams Section 9: Lifelines Evaluation method for behaviour of pipelines during earthquakes; Lifeline seismic hazards: a GIS application Section 10: Material characterisation Composite multiscale mechanics for composite enhanced concrete structures; Influence of carbon fibre-reinforced polymers reinforcing on the seismic behaviour of timber-framed walls with fibre-plaster sheathing boards; A design for de-fragmentation of concrete materials to decline the vulnerability in the reconstruction of houses Section 11: Experimental studies Experimental investigation on the seismic damage behaviour of reinforced concrete columns and beams; Masonry infills with window openings and influence on reinforced concrete frame constructions Section 12: Numerical simulation Seismic analysis of the Ignalina NPP downcomers pipes; A generic approach for simulation of large earthquakes; Evaluation of kinematic bending moments in a pile foundation using the finite element approach
