Seismic Design and Practice into the Next Century: Proceedings of the 6th SECED conference, Oxford, 26-27 March 1998

by Edmund Booth (Editor)

Overview

The papers, from 18 countries in Europe and elsewhere, contain discussions of quite radical innovations in material technology, design philosophy, experimental techniques and analytical approaches that will affect seismic design practice into the next century. Papers are organised into 9 sections: Ground motion and seismic hazard studies; Seismic design of foundations; Seismic design of steel, concrete and masonry buildings; Seismic design of offshore, nuclear and petrochemical installations; Seismic design of bridges, dock and power station structures; Repair and strengthening of bridges and buildings; Active and passive methods of seismic control; Dynamic testing methods; Seismic codes of practice. The proceedings will provide essential material for all those from both industrial and research organisations needing to keep in touch with the state-of-the-art in earthquake engineering and related earch sciences.

Editorial Reviews

The 60 papers consider how earthquake engineers and their colleagues in the earth science will be conducting the business of improving seismic safety in the first decades of the next century. They project radical innovations in material technology, design philosophy, experimental techniques, and analytical approaches. The keynote papers address such issues as the earthquake resistance of high strength reinforced concrete buildings, seismic ground motion parameters, a simple approach to structural irregularity, seismic design in California, and European cooperation. Others consider steel, concrete, and masonry buildings; foundations; offshore, nuclear, and petrochemical installations; bridges, docks, and power stations; dynamic testing methods; codes of practice; and repairing and strengthening bridges and buildings.
