Abstract

Most of the existing strong motion instrumentation on civil engineering structures is installed and operated as federal, state, university, industry or private applications, in many cases operated as a closed system. This hampers co-operation and data exchange, hampering the acquisition of strong motion and structural data, sometimes even within a single country. There is a powerful need to inform engineers of existing strong motion data and to improve the accessibility of data worldwide. This book will play a role in fulfilling such a need by disseminating state-of-the art information, technology and developments in the strong motion instrumentation of civil engineering structures. The subject has direct implications for the earthquake response of structures, improvements in design for earthquake resistance, and hazard mitigation. Readership: Researchers in earthquake engineering, engineers designing earthquake resistant structures, and producers of strong motion recording equipment.

Abstract

Earthquakes affecting urban areas can lead to catastrophic situations and hazard mitigation requires preparatory measures at all levels. Structural assessment is the diagnosis of the seismic health of buildings. Assessment is the prelude to decisions about rehabilitation or even demolition. The scale of the problem in dense urban settings brings about a need for macro seismic appraisal procedures because large numbers of existing buildings do not conform to the increased requirements of new earthquake codes and specifications or have other deficiencies. It is the vulnerable buildings - liable to cause damage and loss of life - that need immediate attention and urgent appraisal in order to decide if structural rehabilitation and upgrading are feasible. Current economic, efficient and occupant-friendly rehabilitation techniques vary widely and include the application either of precast concrete panels or layers, strips and patches of fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) in strategic locations. The papers in this book, many by renowned authorities in earthquake engineering, chart new and vital directions of research and application in the assessment and rehabilitation of buildings in seismic regions. While several papers discuss the probabilistic prediction and quantification of structural damage, others present approaches related with the in-situ and occupant friendly upgrading of buildings and propose both economical and practical techniques to address the problem.

Abstract

Perçues comme un moment exceptionnel et tragique de l’histoire des communautés anciennes, les catastrophes naturelles ne cessèrent, tout au long de l’Antiquité, de susciter l’étonnement, l’irraison et la peur. Elles furent l’objet de débats entre les défenseurs d’une opinion rationnelle, fondée sur la compréhension de l’harmonie et de la démesure du monde, et ceux qui, intrigués par la violence de tels phénomènes, en tenaient pour responsables les divinités. Il est néanmoins frappant de constater que les Grecs ne disposaient pas de mot pour désigner une catastrophe naturelle. L’enquête proposée ici repose donc sur une définition et un paradigme contemporains, l’étude des implications sociales qu’un aléa naturel impose aux sociétés. Loin de céder au fatalisme, les communautés surent s’adapter progressivement aux contraintes de leur environnement, tirèrent de ces expériences des enseignements au sujet des comportements à adopter et prirent des mesures efficaces afin de surmonter l’événement dévastateur. Les réactions populaires soulignent aussi la variété des attitudes face aux catastrophes : actes de bravoure ou de piété religieuse, évacuation des zones sinistrées, sollicitation des réseaux de voisinage, reconstruction des édifices ruinés. Ces réponses apportées au désastre révèlent les réalités quotidiennes dans les cités grecques. La catastrophe ne rompt ainsi pas le temps vécu, mais s’inscrit, au contraire, dans un processus historique de longue durée. Throughout Antiquity, natural disasters, seen as exceptional and tragic moments in the history of ancient communities, never ceased to evoke astonishment, irrationality and fear. They were the subject of debates between the defenders of rational opinions founded on an understanding of the world’s harmony and excess, and those who were puzzled by the violence of such phenomenas and held the gods responsible for them. Nevertheless, it is a surprise to discover that the Greeks did not have a word for ‘natural…
