Review: Most of these chapters are from the seminar on ‘Seismic Design in Engineering’, held in November 2001. Four additional chapters have also been added. The book describes and assesses the seismic requirements for different types of structures. In focusing on nuclear chemical plants, critical guidance is given on design and cost-effective methods. Topics include: designing and assessing mechanical handling equipment; safety for travelling cranes; vessel seismic design; pipework in nuclear UK power plants; electrical system components; submarine bases and dockyards; constructing a large-scale shaking table near-fault ground motions; seismic IPEEE results; and seismic margin methodology for piping systems.
