Abstract Chapter 5 notes that the earthquake load case was considered for the first time in the 1930s, for concrete and embankment dams. At that time the ground shaking, which was the basic earthquake hazard considered, was represented by a seismic coefficient. For the seismic design of most dams, a horizontal seismic coefficient of 0.

Seismic Design Guidelines for Port Structures
2002In order to mitigate hazards and losses due to earthquakes, seismic designmethodologies have been developed and implemented in design practice in many regions since the early twentieth century, often in the form of codes and standards. Most of these methodologies are based on a force-balance approach, in which structures are designed to resist a ...

This chapter covers the key subjects related to the seismic retrofit design process. The difference between global and local retrofit solutions is discussed before highlighting the fact that most projects require a range of intervention techniques. Different conceptual retrofit strategies are then illustrated graphically using the capacity spectrum ...

Seismic design of secondary systems
Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics, 1987The ever increasing demand of providing accurate yet practical solution to the problem of seismic analysis of secondary system in industrial units has led to the development of some very novel analytical techniques. The paper describes the evolution of the methods which have been used to analyze the secondary systems in the past two decades.

One PCI cosponsored research project that has influenced design beyond the precast concrete industry is the DSDM (Diaphragm Seismic Design Methodology) project. This column summarizes the work of the DSDM project and looks toward how design will continue to evolve from this work.

Transitioning to Seismic Design
IABSE Reports, 2018<p>Malaysia is currently in the process of transitioning from non-seismic to seismic design. Existing Malaysian building codes do not require seismic loads to be considered. However, with recent seismic activity in Malaysia and nearby region, Malaysia is spurred into action to consider seismic loads.

The problem of designing masonry to resist seismic loading has a two-part solution: 1) Reinforcement can be provided in the joints and cores to improve the tensile and shear strengths to acceptable levels of reliability. 2) Boundary conditions can be provided for this modified material that will be compatible with its strengths and ...
