Masonry Construction in Active Seismic Regions

Pages : 482
Book Description
During earthquakes, masonry buildings are the most affected, and consequently, damage to these buildings leads to massive loss of life and property. Masonry buildings comprise probably the greatest share of overall housing stock, and in turn, understanding their performance during earthquakes is a pivotal problem in seismic regions. Masonry Construction in Active Seismic Regions presents details on the kinds of masonry building found in seismic regions of the world. The title describes interventions, such as retrofitted solutions, dynamic identification, and improved construction after earthquakes, that are equally applicable to regions of moderate and high seismicity. The book covers representative masonry buildings from active seismic regions, the material properties of masonry construction, numerical modelling techniques and computational advances, seismic performance of non-engineered masonry buildings, resilience in typical construction, retrofitting, and the cultural values and structural characterization of heritage masonry buildings in active seismic regions. This book is unique in its global and systematic coverage of masonry construction in seismic regions. - Identifies the material properties of masonry construction from a seismic perspective - Covers representative masonry buildings from active seismic regions, providing a benchmark to understand existing building stocks - Provides numerical modelling techniques and reviews computational advances, including a large test database - Details the seismic performance of non-engineered masonry buildings, as well as the cultural values and structural characterisation of heritage masonry constructions - Analyses typical or vernacular constructions which have earthquake resilient features, such as Dhajji-Dewari, Borbone, Pombalino, and Himis

Pages : 1590
Book Description
The successful preservation of an historic building, complex or city depends on the continued use and daily care that come with it. The possibility of continued use depends on the adaptation of the building to modern standards and practice of living, requiring changes in constructional or structural features. Conservation engineering is the process

Book Description
Papers from a June 2006 symposium report on recent work in cement, lime, mortars for unit masonry, and manutactured masonry units. Some specific topics covered include investigation and repair of glazed brick cladding, the benefits and problems of ASTM C 1324 for analyzing hardened masonry mortars, time-of-cooling effects on mortar joint color, and the selection and use of natural and manufactured stone adhered veneer. Other subjects examined include defection criteria for masonry beams, the effect of void area on brick masonry performance, seismic evaluation of low-rise reinforced masonry buildings with flexible diaphragms, and greening of mortars. B&w photos and illustrations are included. Trimble is affiliated with the Brick Industry Association. Brisch is affiliated with Rockwell Lime Company. There is no subject index.
