Civil engineering is a profession that has been going on since the existence of humanity, from the past to the present, with a very wide scope divided into many branches of science. Not only the construction of structures, but also the retrofitting of existing structures has a very large place in the field of civil engineering. It is a fact that structures have an economic life depending on time. In addition, structures can lose their initial performance levels by being damaged due to natural disasters and environmental vibrations. In such cases, retrofit is required to restore the structure to its former performance. In historical structures, retrofit and restoration are also carried out to carry the historical heritage into the future. There are many different retrofit methods in terms of the purpose of use of the structure, earthquake, climate, cost, and architectural and historical texture. In addition, with the developing technology, retrofit methods are becoming more diverse and innovative methods are being added. Therefore, in order to get the maximum benefit from the retrofit method to be applied, it is of vital importance in the selection of the method to have done a lot of theoretical and experimental studies. The aim of this book is to shed light on the traditional and innovative techniques by separately and analytically examining the modal behavior of different types of structures retrofitted with different retrofitting techniques, and to valuable civil engineers and researchers. It is also aimed that the book will contribute to the education of undergraduate and graduate students in this field and guide them for future studies.
Solid design and craftsmanship are a necessity for structures and infrastructures that must stand up to natural disasters on a regular basis. Continuous research developments in the engineering field are imperative for sustaining buildings against the threat of earthquakes and other natural disasters. Performance-Based Seismic Design of Concrete Structures and Infrastructures is an informative reference source on all the latest trends and emerging data associated with structural design. Highlighting key topics such as seismic assessments, shear wall structures, and infrastructure resilience, this is an ideal resource for all academicians, students, professionals, and researchers that are seeking new knowledge on the best methods and techniques for designing solid structural designs.
During the past 10 years following the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, invaluable lessons have been learned and great changes have been observed. Immediately after the disaster, the second World Conference on Disaster Reduction was held in Kobe, Japan, and formulated the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA: 2005–2015). HFA provided a platform and framework for changes and innovations, many of which were part of the recovery programs in the different countries affected by the 2004 disaster. This book is a modest attempt to review the lessons learned through the recovery process in the affected region. The book has 31 chapters, drawing lessons from four countries: India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. There are five sections: Overview (10 chapters), Indonesia (8 chapters), India (6 chapters), Sri Lanka (5 chapters), and Thailand (2 chapters). The primary target groups for this book are students and researchers in the fields of disaster risk reduction, environment, and development. The book provides them with a good idea of the current research trends and lessons over the past decade of recovery initiatives. Another target group comprises practitioners and policy makers, who will be able to apply the knowledge collected here to establishing policy and making decisions.
This book covers all aspects of operational modal analysis for civil engineering, from theoretical background to applications, including measurement hardware, software development, and data processing. In particular, this book provides an extensive description and discussion of OMA methods, their classification and relationship, and advantages and drawbacks. The authors cover both the well-established theoretical background of OMA methods and the most recent developments in the field, providing detailed examples to help the reader better understand the concepts and potentialities of the technique. Additional material is provided (data, software) to help practitioners and students become familiar with OMA. Covering a range of different aspects of OMA, always with the application in mind, the practical perspective adopted in this book makes it ideal for a wide range of readers from researchers to field engineers; graduate and undergraduate students; and technicians interested in structural dynamics, system identification, and Structural Health Monitoring. This book also: Analyzes OMA methods extensively, providing details on implementation not easily found in the literature Offers tutorial for development of customized measurement and data processing systems for LabView and National Instruments programmable hardware Discusses different solutions for automated OMA Contains many explanatory applications on real structures Provides detail on applications of OMA beyond system identification, such as (vibration based monitoring, tensile load estimation, etc.) Includes both theory and applications
