Blast Resistant Design Guide for Reinforced Concrete Structures
|
Item Code: EB090
Author: Smith, S., McCann, D. and Kamara, M.
Date: 2009
|
This guide, which includes a foreword by Dr. Gene Corley, provides structural engineers with a practical treatment of the design of cast-in-place reinforced concrete structures to resist the effects of blast loads. Readers will be able to understand the principles of blast-resistant design, determine the kind and degree of resistance a structure needs, and specify the materials and details required to provide it. Guidelines are provided for detailing requirements for blast resistance and detailing philosophy and reinforcement splicing are introduced for columns, beams, slabs, walls and joints. It includes a final chapter devoted to design methods that can protect structures against progressive collapse.

Seismic Design Using Structural Dynamics (2006 IBC, 2009 IBC, ASCE/SEI 7-05)
|
Item Code: LT322
Author: Ghosh, S., Kim, J. and Shad, F.
Date: 2009
|
|
$54.00
|
printed document (206 pages)
|
The 2006 and the 2009 editions of the International Building Code (IBC) require the use of a dynamic analysis procedure for the seismic design of a building under certain conditions of irregularity, occupancy, and height. However, dynamic analysis procedures are more complicated than the more traditional static procedure, and over the years, many questions have been asked about code provisions concerning this. This publication has been created to answer these questions and demystify the application of the code. This publication addresses the two methods by which a designer may comply with the seismic design requirements of the 2006/2009 IBC: Equivalent Lateral Force Procedure (ASCE 7-05 Section 12.8) and Dynamic Analysis Procedure (ASCE 7-05 Section 12.9 and Chapter 16).
