Early applications of anti-seismic measures -- Chapter 2. The principles of base isolation and seismic protection of structures -- Chapter 3. Base Isolators -- Chapter 4. Hysteretic Dampers -- Chapter 5. Hydraulic Devices -- Chapter 6. Magnetic Dampers -- Chapter 7. The European Standard EN 15129 -- Chapter 8. Main Standards Worldwide and comparison with the European Standard -- Chapter 9. Testing requirements of anti-seismic devices and available testing facilities.This book stands as a manual and ready reference for structural engineers on the seismic protection of civil engineering structures. Beginning with a short historical overview, the book explains the concepts of seismic protection, describes the most common types of anti-seismic devices, and summarizes the main existing standards for anti-seismic devices, with particular reference to the European Standard. It imparts expertise on the devices that is normally restricted by proprietary interests of a few specialists. Then it goes on to illustrate the main differences between European and American Standards, examine the output of the principle laboratories globally engaged in testing anti-seismic devices, and to describe state-of-art technologies to retrofit seismically existing buildings. The volume concludes with a number of accounts of projects involving the author where structures were equipped with anti-seismic devices and provides some insight on the future development of relevant technologies. Imparts expertise on design, manufacture and testing of anti-seismic devices Maximizes engineers’ and designers’ understanding of appropriate solutions for the seismic protection of a structure Analyzes the behavior of structures subjected to real earthquakes.Engineering geologyBuildingsDesign and constructionMeasurementMeasuring instrumentsBuildingsRepair and reconstructionBuildingsMaintenanceNatural disastersGeoengineeringBuilding Construction and DesignMeasurement Science and InstrumentationBuilding Repair and MaintenanceNatural HazardsEngineering geology.BuildingsDesign and construction.Measurement.Measuring instruments.BuildingsRepair and reconstruction.BuildingsMaintenance.Natural disasters.Geoengineering.Building Construction and Design.Measurement Science and Instrumentation.Building Repair and Maintenance.Natural Hazards.620.37Marioni Agostino1749389MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910874665703321Anti-Seismic Devices4183640UNINA
