Seismic safety of a nuclear facility is ensured not just by design for two levels of earthquake. There are various other design aspects that go into engineering to ensure seismic safety of an Nuclear Power Plant. Approach of this engineering is different from that of conventional facilities. This monograph presents the general profile of earthquake...

... resulting vibration induced loading effects in the structure can lead to various degrees of damage or to complete collapse. Figures -11 depict typically associated with shallow earthquake magnitudes 6.2 and above . Such rupture can reach overall lengths of up to some kilometers and offsets up to several meters. ...

After a major earthquake, the system for emergency management is activated. As part of a bigger effort involving other organizations, the Italian National Fire Service sets up a system for the management of the short-term countermeasures, called Short-Term Countermeasures System (STCS). The STCS contributes to coping with the emergency, providing a...
The paper explored the usefulness of Artificial neural network (ANN) in predicting the frame displacements under seismic load. The acceleration that is relatively easy to measure is used as the input value and the displacements that can be used to intuitively judge the condition of structures is used as the output value. The methodology utilized th...
This paper discusses a displacement-based methodology for the seismic design of diagonal grid (diagrid) systems. The methodology is applied to the preliminary design of a 24-story building located in the Lake Zone of Mexico City. It is concluded first, that the proposed methodology yields diagonal grid systems that adequately satisfy predefined det...
The use of steel structures in the developing countries is limited in spite of its
better performance in the case of seismic events due to its high ductility. Al�though steel structures behave well under seismic excitation, nevertheless the
use of structural steel is limiting these days. This paper aims to address vari�ous parameters related to t...
