Blast Resistant Design Guide for Reinforced Concrete Structures
|
Item Code: EB090
Date of Publication: 2009
Price: $145.00
|
|
For decades, blast-resistant design was applied almost exclusively to military facilities. Since the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, however, concern for blast resistance has spread to other sectors as well. These and recent experiences such as the September 11 attacks have taught us that explosive blast, whether accidentally or intentionally caused, is another force that needs to be taken into account.
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 chapter devoted to design methods that can protect structures against progressive collapse.
Two federal agencies, the General Services Administration and the Department of Defense, have developed design approaches that reflect lessons learned from studying the performance of Oklahoma City’s Murrah Federal Building after the 1995 truck bombing. This design guide describes both the GSA and DoD design approaches and includes a detailed example of GSA’s alternate path analysis. The guide is a practical manual for the designers of low-rise concrete structures.

Seismic Design Using Structural Dynamics (2006 IBC, 2009 IBC, ASCE/SEI 7-05)
|
Item Code: LT322
Date of Publication: 2009
Price: $54.00
|
|
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).
Although ASCE 7-05 (the 2006 and the 2009 IBC) formally recognizes two dynamic analysis procedures: modal response spectrum analysis and time-history analysis, the modal response spectrum analysis is by far the more common in design office usage and is the primary subject of this publication. The background and details are explained in Chapter 1 of this publication where a step-by-step analysis procedure is given, and a three-story, one-bay frame example is solved entirely manually to illustrate application of the procedure.
Chapter 2 of this publication is devoted exclusively to the detailed design of a 20-story reinforced concrete building that utilizes a dual shear wall-frame interactive system for earthquake resistance. Modal response spectrum analysis is used as the basis of design. Design utilizing the Equivalent Lateral Force Procedure is also illustrated as a prerequisite to design using the Dynamic Analysis Procedure. A key feature of this example that would be of particular interest to users is the design of reinforced concrete shear walls by the procedure in the 2005 and 2008 editions of ACI 318 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete.

Analysis of Revisions to the 2006 IBC Structural Provisions
|
Item Code: LT197
Date of Publication: 2006
Price: $40.00
|
|
This publication provides an analysis of the changes to the 2006 International Building Code (IBC) structural provisions (Chapters 16 through 23) which were approved by the ICC membership at the annual conferences in 2004 and 2005. The chief difference between the 2006 IBC and the 2003 IBC is that referenced standards have been updated to reflect the most current standards, and there is an almost exclusive reliance on the 2005 edition of the ASCE 7 Standard Minimum Design Load for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7-05) for prescribing structural loading requirements. This publication provides explanations and guidance on how to use the ASCE 7-05 standard in conjunction with the 2006 IBC as well as a thorough discussion of the changes in the updated material standards referenced (e.g. ACI 318-05, 2005 edition of MSJC code, AISC 360-05, AISC 341-05, AF&PA NDS-05).

This document covers the structural design, materials selection, and construction of environmental engineering concrete structures. Such structures are used for conveying, storing, or treating liquid or other materials such as solid waste. They include ancillary structures for dams, spill-ways, and channels. Structures covered in this document are subject to uniquely different loadings, more severe exposure conditions, and more restrictive serviceability requirements than non-environmental building structures. Loadings include normal dead and live loads and vibrating equipment or hydrodynamic forces. Exposures include concentrated chemicals, alternate wetting and drying, and freezing and thawing of saturated concrete. Serviceability requirements include liquid-tightness or gas-tightness.
