Proceedings of the Seventh China-Japan-US Trilateral Symposium on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering, held in Shanghai, China, June 1–4, 2016. Sponsored by the Shanghai Institute of Disaster Prevention and Relief, China; Tongji University, Shanghai, China; Beijing University of Technology, Beijing, China; International Society of Lifeline and Infrastructure Earthquake Engineering; Kanazawa University, Japan; Lifeline Network Kansai (LiNK), Japan; Japan Ductile Iron Pipe Association; and the Infrastructure Resilience Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers. This Infrastructure Resilience Publication (IRP) contains 77 peer-reviewed papers covering recent developments in lifeline earthquake engineering involving water, wastewater, gas and liquid fuels, electrical power, telecommunications, and transportation systems. Topics include: seismicity, ground motions, and site effects; seismic performance, modeling, and evaluation; design of water supplies, sewage, electric power, gas and liquid fuel, telecommunications, and transportation systems and their components; seismic reliability and post-earthquake serviceability, recovery, and resilience of lifeline systems; lifeline interactions; tunnels and underground structures; geotechnical and structural earthquake behavior related to lifelines; seismic testing and analysis for lifeline components and foundations; tsunami impacts; and a special session on bridge impact loads. These papers will be of use to practitioners, researchers, and students interested in international approaches to seismic resilience.

Seismic Loads: Guide to the Seismic Load Provisions of ASCE 7-05 provides authoritative explanations of the seismic provisions offered in Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, Standard ASCE/SEI 7-05. With clear, concise language, Seismic Loads illustrates key concepts and guides structural engineers in applying the most current thinking in this rapidly changing discipline to the design of new structures. The book offers more than 20 detailed examples that analyze specific provisions of the standard and demonstrate the application of the provision in evaluating the seismic loading requirements for building structures. The examples guide structural engineers through the process of assessing conditions such as: identifying occupancy, importance, and seismic design categories, selecting a structural system, and analyzing the seismic requirements. Topics include building irregularities, structural analysis, system forces, and load factors, as well as drift and P-delta effects. Seismic Loads includes a frequently asked questions section and three appendixes with supplementary material. This book is an essential supplement to Standard ASCE/SEI 7-05 for all engineers, architects, and construction professionals who work on projects in seismically active locations.
