Magnitude: Measure of the amount of energy released during an earthquake. It is usually expressed using Richter scale. Professor Charles Richter noticed that at a constant distance, seismograms records of earthquake ground vibration of larger earthquake have bigger wave amplitude... (Continue reading)

Pipelines are a very important part of modern civilization. And pipeline transport has become the most important way of moving fluids from one point to the other. Pipelines have been used for millennia for the movement of water and pipeline... (Continue reading)
BASIC ELEMENTS OF EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT DESIGN
Written on 17 Mar, 2010 at 23:14 in Design, Earthquake, Earthquake Resistant | viewed 447 views times and users have made 2 comments so far
Structures on the earth are generally subjected to load of two types static and dynamic. Static loads are constant with time while dynamic loads are time varying. The majority of civil engineering structures are designed with assumptions that all applied... (Continue reading)
GUIDELINES FOR EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT DESIGN
Written on 17 Mar, 2010 at 22:56 in Design, Earthquake, Earthquake Resistant, Structural | viewed 419 views times and users have made 1 comment so far
An earthquake is vibration of earth surface by waves emerging from the source of disturbance in the earth by virtue of release of energy in the earth’s crust. It is essentially a sudden and transient motion or series of motions... (Continue reading)
