About the Book

Featuring the proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Earthquake Resistant Engineering Structures (ERES), this book presents research relating to the protection of the built environment in earthquake prone regions of the world. This involves not only finding ways of determining the optimal design and construction of new facilities, but also upgrading or rehabilitating existing structures. The papers included come from scientists working in industry as well as in academic and research institutes around the world and are classified within the following sections: Earthquake Resistant Design; Bridges; Seismic Behaviour and Vulnerability Analysis; Seismic Isolation and Control; Monitoring and Testing; Passive and Active Control; and Ground Conditions and Site Effects.

Table of Contents:
Section 1 Earthquake resistant design: A 'new' multimode load pattern for pushover analysis: the effect of higher modes of vibration; Initial conceptual design of earthquake resistant r/c and masonry buildings according to Eurocode 8; Plastic energy dissipation and ductility of symmetric reinforced and over-reinforced RC elements' sections; Aseismic design by ground improvement for preventing damage of soil-pile foundation-super structure system; Inclusion of the vertical seismic acceleration in one-story buildings analysis; Analytical prediction for the capacity of old-new concrete interfaces. Section 2 Bridges : Shake table response of bridge columns; Seismic retrofit of reinforced concrete bridges; Experimental study on RC bridge pier model under cyclic bi-axial horizontal loadings; Seismic analysis of masonry bridges by a nonlinear 3D FEM. Section 3 Seismic behaviour and vulnerability analysis: Some problems in modelling a rigid-plastic cantilever beam subjected to impact loading; Seismic behavior of rectangular concrete beams with spirals near potential plastic hinges; Structural response to transverse impact loading. Some orders of magnitude; On the collapse of a masonry tower subjected to earthquake loadings; Seismic vulnerability of Iranian historical domes; Preliminary investigation of earthquake risk to Inca's architectural heritage. Section 4 Seismic isolation and control: Damage assessment of base-isolated building using subspace identification approach; Pushover analysis of masonry infilled steel frames with seismic infill wall isolator subframe (SIWIS) system; A high earthquake-proof spread foundation system for energy storage tanks; Effect of the foundation stiffness on the response of a seismically isolated tank under SSE conditions. Section 5 Monitoring and testing: Influence of input motion characteristics on dynamic soil- structure interaction by shaking table tests; Local damage assessment of a building using Support Vector Machine; Experimental investigations of modal properties of cracked reinforced concrete structures; Repair mortars for the Byzantine masonries restoration interventions providing earthquake protection. Section 6 Passive and active control : Online identification of a building with an active control device; Maximum response of structures with added viscous dampers subjected to base excitation using a modified response spectrum; Verification of damped cable system performance in the seismic rehabilitation of buildings.
