Minimum design loads for buildings and other structures

Resumen:

ASCE standard, Minimun Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7-98), gives requirements for dead, live, soil, flood, wind, snow, rain, ice, and earthquake loads, and their combinations, that are suitable for inclusion in building codes and other documents. ASCE 7-98 is a revision of ASCE 7-95. Substancial changes were made to the wind, snow, earthquake, and ice provisions. In addition, substancial new material was added regarding the determination of flood loads. The structural loading requirements provided by this standard are intended for use by architects, structural engineers, and those engaged in preparing and administering local building codes. (AU)

Resumen:

Geographical location of Bangladesh makes it ideally suited to natural disasters. Bangladesh is one of the largest deltas of the world situated at the confluence with the Bay of Bengal of the Padma-Meghna-Jamuna river system. As a result occurrence of floods, cyclones and tornadoes are yearly phenomenon and considerable loss of lives and properties take place every year due to these disasters. From mid sixties to early nineties, the loss of lives amounted to millions and damage to properties amounted to billions of 2/3 of the land areas of the country and caused billions of dollars worth of property damage with some loss of lives. Tectonic frame work of Bangladesh and adjoining areas indicate that Bangladesh is suited adjacent to the plate margins of India and Eurasia where devastating earthquakes have occurred in the past. Non-availability of earthquake, geological and tectonic data posed great problem in earthquake hazard mapping of Bangladesh in the past. The first Seismic zoning map of Bangladesh which was prepared in 1979 was developed considering only the epicentral location of past earthquakes and isoseismal map of very few of them. During preparation Natural Building Code of Bangladesh in 1994, substantial effort was given in revising the existing seismic zoning map using geophysical and tectonic data, earthquake data, ground motion attenuation data and strong motion data available from within as well as outside of the country. Geophysical and tectonic data were available from Geological Survey of Bangladesh. Earthquake data were collected from NOAA data files of U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, U.S. Dept. of Commerce. It has been felt that the seismic zoning map prepared for Bangladesh National Building code is only the first step towards preparation of more refined and up-to-date zoning map in the near future. Much information on geophysical, geological, earthquake and strong motion data are needed for preparation of such a map. Earthquake occurrence data and ground motion data from instruments installed within the country is urgently needed for development of zoning map on a probabilistic basis. Co-operation of International Agencies, research institution etc. engaged in active research, is urgently needed to attain the goal of total earthquake hazard mitigation

Resumen:

The Caribbean is affected by geological, climatic and enviropnmental hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, tropical cyclones, floods, drought, environmetal pollution and deforestation. However, historically, the damage caused by earthquakes has not been as great as that caused by hurricanes and floods. In this paper thesefore, posibble mitigation strategies for reducing losses for hurricanes and earthquakes in the caribbean are discussed with particular reference to the Caribbean Uniform Building Code (CUBic) provisions for wind and earthquake loads. A brief review of these provisions is presented and it is emphasised that there is an urgent need to enforce compliance with the requirements of CUBiC and to encourage higher standards of construction quality thriughout the caribbean (AU)

Resumen:

This paper first reviews the different approaches taken by codes of practice in their treatment of ductility by the use of force modification factors. The way in which structural overstrength can be accounted for and the factors influencing overstrength qre discussed. Nonlinear analyses of reinforced soncrete structures, designed by the Canadian codes, demonstrate the significance of structural overstrength. The manner in which structural overstrength can be accounted for in the design of reinforced concrete structures is presented. Concern is expressed about a separate requirement for avoiding yielding under service conditions and limiting interstorey drifts at service load levels.(AU)

Resumen:

After briefly reviewing the development of the Caribbean uniform building Code (CUBiC) provisions for earthquake loads, this paper compares the main provisions of CUBiC with those of the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC 1990) and the Uniform Building Code (UBC) of USA. Individual parameters that area compared include seismic risk and zoning, K-factors, importance factor, foundation factor, period calculation, base shear estimates and general design philodophies followed. A numerical comparison of base shear calculated according to the three codes is given to illustrate the differences. The paper concludes with a discussion of the specific Caribbean problems that still need to be resolved and suggestions are made for desirable changes in the CUBiC earthquake provisions in the future which would improve the seismic design of buildings in the Caribbean.

Threat/Vulnerability Assessments and Risk Analysis

Autor:

National Institute of Building Sciences

Resumen:

All facilities face a certain level of risk associated with various threats. These threats may be the result of natural events, accidents, or intentional acts to cause harm. Regardless of the nature of the threat, facility owners have a responsibility to limit or manage risks from these threats to the extent possible. The federal government has implemented the Interagency Security Committee (ISC) Security Design Criteria. Facility owners, particularly owners of public facilities, should adhere to similar security design criteria as those put forth in the ISC Security Design Criteria. Landlords who desire to lease space to federal government agencies must implement the ISC Security Design Criteria in the design of new facilities and/or the renovation of existing facilities.
