About the Book

This book contains selected papers presented at the sixth International Conference on Earthquake Resistant Engineering Structures (ERES). This book provides a forum for the discussion of the latest developments in innovative design and construction of new earthquake resistant structures as well as the retrofitting of existing buildings. The ERES conference continues to attract promising young researchers as well as familiar names in the field of earthquake engineering. This combination is the main reason why the ERES meetings continue to bring to the attention of the international scientific community original high quality papers on topics such as: earthquake resistant design, bridges, seismic isolation, passive protection devices and seismic isolation, self-centering systems, site effects and geotechnical aspects, seismic behaviour and vulnerability, lifelines, monitoring and testing, retrofitting, and structural dynamics.

Table of Contents:
Keynote contribution A road map for seismic prevention of damage Section 1: Earthquake resistant design Vulnerability functions and the influence of seismic design parameters on initial costs for buildings provided with hysteretic energy dissipating devices; Seismic behavior over-resistance effects on buildings; Design of reinforced concrete buildings according to the new NEHRP provisions; Static and dynamic analytical and experimental analysis of 3D reinforced concrete panels; Designing aspects of bridges placed in active seismic areas; Behaviour of coupling beams having vertical slits at the ends; Principal stresses behaviour of a steel plate shear wall concerning buckling modes; Earthquake architecture as an expression of a stronger architectural identity in seismic areas Section 2: Bridges Aspects of testing a large-scale two-span bridge model on multiple shake tables; Seismic devices for bridges Section 3: Seismic isolation Seismic isolation and energy dissipation: worldwide application and perspectives; Study of the seismic response of reinforced concrete isolated elevated water tanks; Modeling of the structural impact of seismically isolated buildings Section 4: Passive protection devices and seismic isolation Aseismic study of a building with the efficiency-enhanced damping system; Introducing orthogonal roller pairs as an effective isolating system for low rise buildings Section 5: Self-centering systems Seismic response three-dimensional analyses of ten-story steel frames with column uplift; Shaking table test on seismic response of reduced-scale models of multi-story buildings allowed to uplift; Self-centering behavior of unbonded precast concrete shear walls; Displacement ductility demand and strength reduction factors for rocking structures Section 6: Site effects and geotechnical aspects The 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake - a preliminary study of deaths; Local seismic amplification analysis in the industrial area of Sulmona, Central Italy; Dynamic response of a large landslide during a strong earthquake; Liquefaction potential evaluation for a site Section 7: Seismic behaviour and vulnerability Seismic risk assessment of the Ignalina NPP refuelling machine; Comparing static linear and nonlinear analyses of safe rooms in a poor performance masonry building; Empirical fragility curves for Peruvian school buildings; Evaluation of lateral load pattern in pushover analysis; 3-D reproduction analyses for actual earthquake behaviours of existing dams; Seismic hazard expression in risk assessment Section 8: Lifelines Seismic reliability and cost evaluation for a hospital lifeline network system; Human life saving lifelines and cost-effective design of an exclusive water supply system for fires following earthquakes Section 9: Monitoring and testing Shaking table tests on shallow foundations; Development of a digitally-controlled single axis earthquake shake frame for masonry walls testing; Determination of seismic transport effects on buildings Section 10: Retrofitting Towards a European code for seismic assessment and strengthening of existing buildings; Flexural retrofitting of reinforced concrete bridge pier type cross-sections with carbon fiber reinforcing plastics; Evaluating the retrofitting process for Imam (Soltani) Mosque monument after Silakhor Plan earthquake damage (31 March 2006); Effect of connection procedures on the behaviour of RC columns strengthened with RC layers and jackets; Seismic assessment if buildings by rapid visual screening procedures Section 11: Structural dynamics Three-dimensional seismic damage simulation of wooden houses using a rigid body spring method; Controlling nonlinear vibrations in steel structures using an evolutionary gain formulation to optimally satisfy performance objectives; Dynamic analysis of plates stiffened by parallel beams; Dynamics in the practice of structural design: the problems of implementation; Effect of impulsive force on earthquake response of rocking structural systems
