Seismic Risk and Reliability of Telecommunications Systems
A general method for seismic risk analysis of telecommunications sytems evaluates by statistical means the earthquake environment and the earthquake vulnerability and effects on the system...

Response of Subsystems on Inelastic Structures
Preliminary analyses are performed to obtain insight into the seismic response of subsystems supported on simple structures that yield during severe earthquake ground motions. Current...

Coupled Vertical-Rocking Response of Base-Isolated Structures
A base-isolated building can have a small horizontal eccentricity between the center of mass of the superstructure and the center of rigidity of the supporting bearings. The structure...

A Study of the Correlation of the Components of Instructure Motions During Earthquakes
Thirty-two buildings are selected that have all three components of motion recorded in the basement, midheight and top of the structure. The correlation coefficients of these motions,...

The Response of Steel Containment Models to Internal Pressurization
To obtain insight and data on the response of containment vessels subjected to beyond design basis accidents, four 1/32 scale steel containment models have been subjected to internal overpressurization,...

Major Considerations in Scale Modeling of Reinforced Concrete Containment Structures
Reinforced concrete containment structures pose unique modeling problems, especially when leakage integrity is of interest. This paper presents a general discussion of modeling considerations...

Modeling Aeration Devices for Glen Canyon Dam
The 41-ft (12. 5-m) diameter tunnel spillways at Glen Canyon Dam experienced major damage during the 1983 spring runoff. This damage was initiated by cavitation. Hydraulic model studies...

Modeling of a Multifunctional Hydraulic Structure
A 1:12 scale Froude model of a hydraulic control structure in the Rochester Combined Sewer Overflow Abatement Program (RCSOAP) was constructed and tested to optimize the design requirements...

Lifeline Earthquake Engineering
Performance, Design and Construction
Lifeline Earthquake Engineering: Performance, Design and Construction is a follow-up publication to the Technical Council on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering publication Advisory Notes...

Seismic Design of Embankments and Caverns
The papers included in this publication were presented at three symposia on seismicity and seismic design for embankment dams and underground openings. Primary topics for discussion include:...

Restoration
After the San Fernando earthquake of 1971, California's State Capitol Building was declared an earthquake hazard and vacated. It took the most extensive structural and architectural...

Advisory Notes on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering
A Report
A state-of-the-art review of seismic design of lifeline facilities is presented including some insight as to how lifeline facilities have performed in past earthquakes. Information is...

Journal of Technical Topics in Civil Engineering
Journal of Technical Topics in Civil Engineering covers the topics of computing applications in civil engineering, especially in the area of seismic design and seismic tests....

Lifeline Earthquake Engineering
The Current State of Knowledge, 1981
An examination of recent strong earthquakes suggests that earthquake engineering should be strengthened and institutionalized in the lifeline field, specifically public utilities. The...

Selected Papers by Alfred M. Freudenthal
Civil Engineering Classics
Fifty-six papers written by Alfred M. Freudenthal, or co-authored by Prof. Freudenthal, are included. The papers are divided into three areas: structures, theories of mechanical behavior...

Social and Economic Impact of Earthquakes in Utility Lifelines
Seismic Considerations in Lifelines Planning, Siting and Design
Lifeline earthquake engineering is explored as an attempt to mitigate seismic hazards to public utilities and transportation systems. Utilities and transportation are 50% of the property...

The Structural Fuse: An Inelastic Approach to Earthquake-Resistant Design of Buildings
An alternative to the empirical approach to earthquake-resistant design of buildings is proposed and illustrated with a design example. Instead of strengthening every member to resist...

Seismic Performance of Low Rise Buildings
State-of-the-Art and Research Needs
Papers and panel reports from a workshop on seismic performance of low rise buildings assess the state of the art, identify problem areas, and determine research needs associated with...

Annotated Bibliography on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering
Articles, reports, books, data and other information relative to lifeline earthquake engineering are listed as a guide to researchers and practicing engineers. Each citation in the bibliography...

Dynamic Response of Structures
Experimentation, Observation, Prediction and Control
Sixty-eight papers that comprise the proceedings of the second conference on the dynamic response of structures are included. The structures explored include bridges, tall buildings, dams,...
