The importance of continuous research into Seismic Design for
Engineering Plant can never be underestimated. Earthquake disaster
prevention is a fascinating area requiring ingenious solutions to
its unique problems. The benefits of sharing information from
developments in this field are also of vital importance.
This new book describes and assesses the seismic requirements
for different types of structures. In focussing on nuclear chemical
plants critical guidance is given on design and cost-effective
methods. Bringing together valuable experience from a wide range of
disciplines, this important volume covers an informative selection
of topics.
Contents include: Introduction to Seismic DesignExpected
accelerations and ways to minimize interaction between structural
and mechanical componentsThe practical aspects of designing and
assessing mechanical handling equipment for seismic eventsNuclear
safety requirements for travelling cranesOverview of vessel seismic
designSeismic qualification of existing pipework in UK nuclear
power plantsConstruction of a three-dimensional, large-scale
shaking table land development of core technology
The contributors to this book are experts in their field whether
they are from the nuclear, academic, governmental, or engineering
consultant sectors. Their experienced and informed contributions
will highlight and explore the most recent developments and
challenges facing this highly relevant field of mechanical
engineering.
