This volume provides opportunities to explore such questions by bringing together a whole set of new translations by David Shulman, noted scholar of South Asia. The translated selections come from a variety of Indian languages, genres, and periods, from the classical to the contemporary. The translations are accompanied by short essays written to help readers engage and enjoy them. Some of these essays provide background to enhance reading of the translation, whereas others model how to expand appreciation in comparative and broader ways. Together, the translations and the accompanying essays form an essential guide for people interested in literature and art from South Asia.Literary Collections / Asian / IndicbisacshLiterary Criticism / Asian / IndicbisacshHistory / Asia / India & South AsiabisacshHistoryLiterary Collections / Asian / IndicLiterary Criticism / Asian / IndicHistory / Asia / India & South AsiaHistory891/.1Bronner YigalProf.Hallisey CharlesScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK996472045203316Sensitive Reading2843157UNISA05080nam 2200745Ia 450 991043804130332120200520144314.09786613934444978128362199112836219919781447141440144714144X10.1007/978-1-4471-4144-0(CKB)2560000000090294(EBL)994514(OCoLC)821881549(SSID)ssj0000745993(PQKBManifestationID)11446061(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000745993(PQKBWorkID)10861316(PQKB)11067766(DE-He213)978-1-4471-4144-0(MiAaPQ)EBC994514(PPN)168292734(EXLCZ)99256000000009029420120725h20122013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrImproving the earthquake resilience of buildings the worst case approach /Izuru Takewaki, Abbas Moustafa, Kohei Fujita1st ed. 2013.London Springer-Verlag2012, c20131 online resource (331 p.)Springer series in reliability engineeringDescription based upon print version of record.9781447162353 1447162358 9781447141433 1447141431 Includes bibliographical references and index.1 Introduction -- 2.

Future Directions.Engineers are always interested in the worst-case scenario. One of the most important and challenging missions of structural engineers may be to narrow the range of unexpected incidents in building structural design. Redundancy, robustness and resilience play an important role in such circumstances. Improving the Earthquake Resilience of Buildings: The worst case approach discusses the importance of worst-scenario approach for improved earthquake resilience of buildings and nuclear reactor facilities. Improving the Earthquake Resilience of Buildings: The worst case approach consists of two parts. The first part deals with the characterization and modeling of worst or critical ground motions on inelastic structures and the related worst-case scenario in the structural design of ordinary simple building structures. The second part of the book focuses on investigating the worst-case scenario for passively controlled and base-isolated buildings. This allows for detailed consideration of a range of topics including: •A consideration of damage of building structures in the critical excitation method for improved building-earthquake resilience, •A consideration of uncertainties of structural parameters in structural control and base-isolation for improved building-earthquake resilience, and •New insights in structural design of super high-rise buildings under long-period ground motions. Improving the Earthquake Resilience of Buildings: The worst case approach is a valuable resource for researchers and engineers interested in learning and applying the worst-case scenario approach in the seismic-resistant design for more resilient structures.Springer Series in Reliability Engineering,1614-7839Earthquake resistant designBuildingsEarthquake effectsEarthquake engineeringEarthquake resistant design.BuildingsEarthquake effects.Earthquake engineering.690690.24690/.24691Takewaki Izuru772035Moustafa Abbas1262688Fujita Kohei1758503MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910438041303321Improving the earthquake resilience of buildings4196729UNINA
