IMPROVING EARTHQUAKE RESISTANCE OF SMALL BUILDINGS
The earthquake resistance of small buildings may be increased by taking some precautions and measures in site selections, building planning and constructions as explained below: 1. Site Selection for small buildings: The building constructions should be avoided on (a) Near ...
Calculate Earthquake Forces on Buildings and Structures
Earthquake resistant design requires calculation of earthquake forces on buildings and structures. The guide to earthquake resistant design of building and structures are given by IS 1893:2002 in India.
Safe Design and Construction of Multistoried RCC Buildings
Safe Design and Construction of Multistoried RCC Buildings A large number of reinforced concrete multi-storey frame buildings were heavily damaged and many of them collapsed completely in Bhuj earthquake of 2001 in the towns of Kachchh District (viz., Bhuj, Bhachao, ...
PERFORMANCE BASED EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT DESIGN
The performance-based seismic engineering (PBSE) produces structures with predictable seismic performance. This approach is not new. Using this approach / model Turbine, Airplanes & Automobiles are made. In these applications one or more prototype are built and subjected to extensive ...
Conceptual Design to Resist Earthquakes
Buildings are designed by architects and engineers. In reality, in most cases, buildings principally for human occupancy are designed conceptually by architects. That is to say that architects are the ones principally responsible for the configuration of buildings for human ...
Seismic Design of Earth-Retaining Structures and Foundations
DESIGNS of retaining walls, earth dam, abutments, foundations, etc. are very important problems related to the geotechnical engineering. To minimize the devastating effect of earthquake on retaining structures, computation of earth pressures and the point of applications carries attention of ...
Economical Design of Earthquake Resistent Brigdes
With the occurrence of every major earthquake, there has been in the past, almost a world-wide tendency to increase the capacity demand of the structure to counteract such events. It is only in the last decade that new strategies have ...
