Descripción

Seismic Rehabilitation Methods for Existing Buildings covers various structures, effective parameters in seismic improvement, and other factors in seismic loading in eight applied chapters with descriptive classification. The book offers guidance for a seismic rehabilitation project based on the interpretation of publications FEMA and Iranian seismic rehabilitation regulations no.360 . It includes real examples of completed and approved projects to stabilize the seismic improvement issues of existing buildings. Six perfectly executed examples, with complete refinement details, such as modeling, step-by-step improvement studies, and executive plans and seismic enhancement images are included. The book also explains the classification of non-structural element and how to carry out it's seismic reconstruction studies and in one of the chapters, construction and soil improvement methods are discussed along with a practical example.The concepts of seismic rehabilitation in this book are presented with an Info-graphic structure that better fixes the concepts in the minds of readers so that when they face a new project, they have a more practical use of the content

Puntos claves

  • Provides a fully functional way to evaluate, model and present details of a seismic rehabilitation plan for a building
  • Presents real seismic refurbishment models and step-by-step methods for providing examples (including images, tables and charts)

Sobre el autor

RA

Reza Mokarram Aydenlou

Reza Mokarram Aydenlou, is a structural and civil engineer specializing in seismic retrofitting, structural rehabilitation, and earthquake engineering, with more than 20 years of professional experience. A Ph.D., P.E., S.E., C.Eng member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), he has led engineering design teams on major projects involving buildings, bridges, and nonstructural components. He is the author of several Persian-language books on seismic retrofitting and Seismic Rehabilitation Methods for Existing Buildings (Elsevier, 2020), an international publication dedicated to practical approaches to improving the seismic performance of existing structures. He actively mentors engineers through ASCE and lectures on structural and earthquake engineering through Iran’s Construction Engineering Organization. His professional experience includes post-earthquake structural assessments, notably following the 2017 Kermanshah earthquake. His work focuses on advancing seismic safety, enhancing structural resilience, and bridging engineering research and practice through practical solutions and knowledge sharing with the global engineering community.
