Hypothetical Earthquake Ground Shaking Estimation for Performance-Based Design

Earthquake engineering design of buildings increasingly is using nonlinear dynamic analysis to demonstrate buildingperformance. One requirement of the nonlinear dynamic procedure is the selection and manipulation of ground motions appropriate to design hazard level.Seismic hazard due to ground shaking should be determined considering the location of the building with respect to causative faults, the regional site-specific geologic characteristics, and the selected earthquake hazard level. In general, the seismic...

Alternate Path Method in Progressive Collapse Analysis

As a result of the increasing number of terrorist attacks registered against American facilities in the United States or abroad, United States government agencies continue to improve the design of their buildings to make them safer and less vulnerable to terrorist attacks. One of the factors typically considered in designing safer buildings and structures, is their ability to prevent total collapse after the loss of load-carrying components (Progressive Collapse) resulting from a terrorist attack. The consequences...

Design of Anchorages in Concrete

Author: FIB | Size: 5.2 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Scanner | Publisher: FIB | Year: 2011 | pages: 280 | ISBN: 978-2-88394-098-7Despite the widespread use of cast-in-place and post-installed anchors in construction, the overall level of understanding in the engineering community regarding their behaviour remains quite limited. Furthermore, since the publication of the original CEB design guide, “Design of Fastenings in Concrete”, ongoing research and additionalapplication experience has led to an improved understanding...
