Design of liquid-containing concrete structures for earthquake forces Javeed A Munshi

Engineers design buildings to withstand as much sideways motion as possible in order to minimize damage to the structure and give the occupants time to get out safely. The most dangerous building construction, from an earthquake point of view, is unreinforced brick or concrete block. Prestressed or reinforced concrete with special detailing. Designer of liquid- containing concrete structures for computing seismic forces. Design Earthquake Resistant Structures If the flexible pads are properly chosen, the forces induced by ground shaking can be a few times smaller than that experienced by the building built directly on ground, namely a fixed base building (fig 1c). As a result, a robust medium-rise masonry or reinforced concrete building becomes extremely flexible. Effect of isolating One way to to make a simple structure more resistant to these lateral forces is to tie the walls, floor, roof, and foundations into a rigid box that holds together when shaken by a quake. Opposite to the conventional force-based design, the target displacement is first specified and then Seismic Design of Liquid-Containing Concrete Structures. The flexible pads are in the structure.
