| Résumé : |
Earthquake Resistant Design and Risk Reduction, 2ndedition is based upon global research and development work overthe last 50 years or more, and follows the author s series ofthree books Earthquake Resistant Design, 1st and2 nd editions (1977 and 1987), and Earthquake RiskReduction (2003). Many advances have been made since the 2003edition of Earthquake Risk Reduction, and there is everysign that this rate of progress will continue apace in the years tocome. Compiled from the author s wide design and researchexperience in earthquake engineering and engineering seismology,this key text provides an excellent treatment of the complexmultidisciplinary process of earthquake resistant design and riskreduction.
New topics include the creation of low–damage structures and thespatial distribution of ground shaking near large fault ruptures.Sections on guidance for developing countries, response ofbuildings to differential settlement in liquefaction,performance–based and displacement–based design and thearchitectural aspects of earthquake resistant design are heavilyrevised.
This book:
Outlines individual national weaknesses that contribute toearthquake risk to people and property
Calculates the seismic response of soils and structures, usingthe structural continuum Subsoil Substructure Superstructure Non structure
Evaluates the effectiveness of given design and constructionprocedures for reducing casualties and financial losses
Provides guidance on the key issue of choice of structuralform
Presents earthquake resistant design methods for the main fourstructural materials steel, concrete, reinforced masonryand timber as well as for services equipment, plant andnon–structural architectural components
Contains a chapter devoted to problems involved in improving(retrofitting) the existing built environment
This book is an invaluable reference and guiding tool topractising civil and structural engineers and architects,researchers and postgraduate students in earthquake engineering andengineering seismology, local governments and risk managementofficials.
Biographie de l'auteur
David Dowrick graduated as a Civil Engineer fromAuckland University in 1958, and was awarded a Doctorate ofEngineering in 2003. He has worked both in consulting engineeringand in earthquake research, based in London and New Zealand. He nowworks part–time on earthquake research from his home in Tauranga,where he is also involved in four non–engineering committees.
Major engineering design projects include the Sydney Opera Houseroof, restoration of York Minster and the Ohaaki power stationcooling tower in New Zealand. In addition, he has advised the NewZealand Historic Places Trust on a variety of conservationprojects. Dr Dowrick is the author of over 70 publications,including four editions of books on earthquake engineering. He hasreceived five awards, four for earthquake engineering papers plusthe Institution of Civil Engineers Telford Gold Medal forhis paper on York Minster. He has been made a life member of the NZSociety for Earthquake Engineering. |
