Recent earthquakes in many countries of the world have confirmed
the potential for very large seismic events that until now were not
forecast. The level of disturbance and destruction of highways and
bridges as well as life, suffered during these dominant earthquakes
were far greater than structural engineers and their associated
design codes had predicted. One important lesson that has been
learnt is that it is vital that bridges, which connect major
transportation routes, must continue to function after an
earthquake. In the quest of this realization, new technologies and
design efforts by engineers have resulted in the development of
seismic protection systems, which include Shock Transmission Units
(STU) together with various seismic isolation and energy mitigation
devices. In the only book to provide independent, non-proprietary
information on the design and application of STUs, the author
offers information on a wide range of different applications,
including new and existing highway and railway bridges, as well as
non-bridge structures such as nuclear power plants. Illustrated
case studies included throughout, Shock Transmission Units in
Construction is written by a proven expert in STUs and the only
world authority on the subject.
