About the Book

Containing the latest research on preparation for and mitigation of future earthquakes, this book addresses an area of increasing importance to many areas around the world. It contains research presented at the ninth and latest in a series of biennial conferences on the topic organised by the Wessex Institute.As world population has concentrated in urban areas, we have seen the consequences of natural disasters take an ever higher toll in human life and property. Adding to this trend, earthquake activity is being registered in areas that were not previously very active, thus the need for research into the application of technological advances to the specific area of earthquake engineering. This volume presents those advances.The papers cover: Building Performance during Earthquakes; Performance Based Design; Vulnerability; Seismic Isolation and Energy Dissipation; The Upgrade of Buildings to Mitigate Seismic Hazard; Case Studies.

Table of Contents:
ContentsSection 1: Building performance during earthquakesKey issues regarding interaction of adjacent RC structures; Evaluation of seismic design provisions for a drift and inter-story drift relationship; Seismic retrofitting of mid-rise reinforced concrete framed structures; Interaction of adjacent multi-storey RC frames at significant damage and near collapse limit statesSection 2: Performance based designSynthesis of spectrum-compatible bi-directional seismic accelerograms with target elliptical component of polarization; Performance-based plastic design of a high rise moment resisting frame with friction dampers; Predicting models for the evaluation of out-of-plane ultimate load carrying capacity of masonry infill wallsSection 3: VulnerabilityInventory of the building stock in the city of Serres (Greece) for seismic vulnerability assessment and loss estimation; Comparison of the 1D response analysis results of typical Hungarian soil types and the EC8 spectra based on a case study of seismic risk analysis in GyorSection 4: Seismic isolation and energy dissipationPlastic disconnection of storey masses for seismic stress control; Dual control connections in frames for earthquake resistance; Introduction of an innovative base isolation system for seismic protection of HV components based on a combination of wire ropes and viscous dampersSection 5: The upgrade of buildings to mitigate seismic hazard (Special session organised by Dr L. Anania)Innovative technologies in the upgrading of existing r.c. framed structures; The local site response for upgrading the existing buildings against seismic hazardSection 6: Case studiesObserved and predicted earthquake damage scenarios: the case study of L'Aquila municipality; Seismic assessment and retrofitting of an existing RC building according to the Italian building code; Consideration of torsional irregularity in Modal Response Spectrum Analysis; Seismic response characteristics of buried pipelines subjected to large ground movements during huge earthquakesSection 7: Experimental studiesExperimental application of a wireless earthquake damage monitoring system (WiAMS) using PZT transducers in reinforced concrete beams; Experimental assessment of RC exterior beam-column joints without transverse reinforcement; On the monitoring of structures and soils by tomography; Enhanced design of precast concrete columns by optimal axial steels; A proposal of a hybrid tuber structure with a steel reinforced concrete wall-column and steel beamSection 8: Numerical analysisIn-plane behaviour of innovative masonry infills based on different configurations of wooden sliding joints; Numerical response of bridge cranes subjected to repeated shocks during an earthquake; Development of elastic lateral buckling stress for H-shaped beams with lateral-rotational braces subjected to axial force from dampersAuthor index
