Earthquake engineering is the ultimate challenge for structural engineers. Even if natural phenomena involve great uncertainties, structural engineers need to design buildings, bridges, and dams capable of resisting the destructive forces produced by them. These disasters have created a new awareness about the disaster preparedness and mitigation. Before a building, utility system, or transportation structure is built, engineers spend a great deal of time analyzing those structures to make sure they will perform reliably under seismic and other loads. The purpose of this book is to provide structural engineers with tools and information to improve current building and bridge design and construction practices and enhance their sustainability during and after seismic events. In this book, Khan explains the latest theory, design applications and Code Provisions. Earthquake-Resistant Structures features seismic design and retrofitting techniques for low and high raise buildings, single and multi-span bridges, dams and nuclear facilities. The author also compares and contrasts various seismic resistant techniques in USA, Russia, Japan, Turkey, India, China, New Zealand, and Pakistan. - Written by a world renowned author and educator - Seismic design and retrofitting techniques for all structures - Tools improve current building and bridge designs - Latest methods for building earthquake-resistant structures - Combines physical and geophysical science with structural engineering

This manual is an interim revision of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) publication "Seismic Retrofitting Guidelines for Highway Bridges", which was published in 1983 as report number FHWA/RD-83/007. It describes an evaluation procedure for retrofitting seismically deficient highway bridges and outlines various measures to upgrade these structures. The guidance provided in this manual is comprehensive in nature and nationally applicable to bridges in different seismic zones. It includes a revised preliminary screening procedure; two methods of detailed evaluation (which include the capacity/demand ratio method and the lateral strength method); and expanded sections on retrofit measures for bearings, columns, footings, foundations, and soils. A new section on the application of seismic isolation to bridge retrofit is also included. The manual is termed an interim revision because the subject matter is still evolving at this time.
