Designing for Earthquakes

这个项目将进行更新1978年最初出版的经典出版物《地震设计》所需的研究。作为为数不多的针对建筑专业人员的抗震设计的技术文档之一，本出版物现已绝版。新文件将通过整合工程知识方面取得的进展和基于性能的抗震设计概念的发展，大大改进早期出版物。由于缺乏抗震设计的技术信息，建筑师忽视了他们在向建筑业主和社区领导人传达抗震策略方面所发挥的关键作用。EERI将开展必要的研究，以更好地了解大学建筑和继续教育项目中抗震设计教育的现状和局限性，确定建筑师需要的信息和培训种类，以便更好地理解和设计特定的抗震性能水平，更新1978年出版的章节，最后，增加几个新的章节，反映当前的工程研究和主题，没有考虑到二十年前。最终的出版物将使建筑师能够在设计更安全的社会中发挥重要作用。

This project will carry out the research needed to update a classic publication entitled, Designing for Earthquakes, originally published in 1978. One of the few technical documents that dealt with seismic design for members of the architecture profession, this publication is now out of print. The new document will improve vastly on the earlier publication by incorporating advances that have been made in engineering knowledge and the development of the concept of Performance Based Seismic Design. The absence of technical seismic design information for architects has ignored the pivotal role they play in communicating seismic resistant strategies to building owners and community leaders. EERI will carry out the necessary research to gain a better understanding of the current status and limitations of seismic design education in university architecture and continuing education programs, identify the kinds of information and training that architects need to better understand and design for specific seismic performance levels, update the chapters of the 1978 publication, and finally, add several new chapters that reflect current engineering research and topics that were not considered two decades ago. The final publication will enable architects to play a significant role in designing a safer society.
