  2. Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocode_8:_Design_of...

    EN 1998-1 applies to the design of buildings and civil engineering works in seismic regions. It is subdivided in 10 Sections, some of which are specifically devoted to the design of buildings. Section 1 of EN 1998-1 contains the scope, normative references, assumptions, principles and application rules, terms and definitions, symbols and units.

  3. Seismic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_analysis

    The earliest provisions for seismic resistance were the requirement to design for a lateral force equal to a proportion of the building weight (applied at each floor level). This approach was adopted in the appendix of the 1927 Uniform Building Code (UBC), which was used on the west coast of the United States.

  4. Earthquake engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_engineering

    Seismic design requirements depend on the type of the structure, locality of the project and its authorities which stipulate applicable seismic design codes and criteria. [7] For instance, California Department of Transportation 's requirements called The Seismic Design Criteria (SDC) and aimed at the design of new bridges in California [ 37 ...

  5. Peak ground acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_ground_acceleration

    The peak horizontal acceleration (PHA) is the most commonly used type of ground acceleration in engineering applications. It is often used within earthquake engineering (including seismic building codes) and it is commonly plotted on seismic hazard maps. [6]

  6. Seismic code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_code

    The 1940 seismic code was developed in response to the 1939 Erzincan earthquake which killed 32,000 people. It drew parallels with Italy's seismic codes at the time. A seismic zonation map was also developed in 1942 which assessed the seismic hazard of all Turkish provinces on three levels; "hazardous", "less hazardous" and "no hazard".

  7. Earthquake-resistant structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake-resistant...

    The term 'seismic architecture' or 'earthquake architecture' was first introduced in 1985 by Robert Reitherman. [16] The phrase "earthquake architecture" is used to describe a degree of architectural expression of earthquake resistance or implication of architectural configuration, form or style in earthquake resistance.

  9. MESA (seismic survey design software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MESA_(seismic_survey...

    In May 2018, ION Geophysical signed a letter of intent to streamline workflow of MESA with seismic modelling software NORSAR 3D. [7] [8] The feature is available from MESA 15.1 and NORSAR-3D 2017.3 versions. The software is used by many seismic data acquisition companies to plan their acquisition geometry. [9] [10] [11] [12]
