MAP20070021925Earthquake engineering : proceedings of the Seventeenth Regional European Seminar on Earthquake Engineering, Haifa, Israel, 5-10 September 1993 / edited by Avigdor Rutenberg. — Rotterdam [etc.] : A.A. BALKEMA, 1994XV, 560 p. ; 26 cmThis book includes new ideas on most of the important areas of earthquake engineering: seismic risk, ground motion, soil response and soil-structure interaction, structural response and code oriented analysis, base isolation and active control, strengthening of existing buldings, experimental techniques and evaluation methodsSumario: Lessons from past earthquakes -- Seismicity, seismic risk and strong motion -- Soil response and soil-structure interaction -- Response analysis -- Code oriented analysis -- Base isolation -- Strengthening of existing structures -- Various themes (Optimizational approach to identification of structural dynamic parameters basing on engineering-seismometric observations. Evaluation of existing buldings in Israel for seismic hazard. Empirical determination of dynamic parameters of structures. Identification of structural models from earthquake records. Pounding response of adjacent concrete slabs. The role of reinforcement bond in seismic resistance of R.C. joints)
