Rehabilitation of heritage monuments provides sustainable development and cultural significance to a region. The most sensitive aspect of the refurbishment of existing buildings lies in the renovation and recovery of structural integrity and public safety. The Handbook of Research on Seismic Assessment and Rehabilitation of Historic Structures evaluates developing contributions in the field of earthquake engineering with regards to the analysis and treatment of structural damage inflicted by seismic activity. This book is a vital reference source for professionals, researchers, students, and engineers active in the field of earthquake engineering who are interested in the emergent developments and research available in the preservation and rehabilitation of heritage buildings following seismic activity.
This book presents selected papers from the Proceedings of the International Conference on Innovative Infrastructures, ICII 2023, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, covering topic areas in mining geomechanics, ground control, engineering geology, geohazards, soft computing, and underground structures. The published articles cover the latest research studies in geotechnical and geoengineering with the focus of soft computing technology to solve complex geotechnical issues in mining, tunneling, and geotechnical structures. It also highlights state-of-the-art technologies adopted by the civil, geology, and mining industries which are not only commercially viable but also environmentally sustainable. The content of the papers appeals to researchers and industrial practitioners working in the field of geomechanics and geoengineering.
The design of structures and infrastructure facilities has typically assumed a future climate that is much the same as today's. However, a changing climate and the resulting more extreme weather events mean those climate bands are becoming outdated, leaving infrastructure operating outside or at the limit of its tolerance levels.With its evaluation of a host of assets in the built environment, Climate Change Effects on Infrastructure: Advanced Tools for Monitoring, Mitigation, and Lifecycle Optimization instructs readers how to assess and predict structural vulnerabilities resulting from climate change as well as ensuing hazard patterns using mathematical tools and data-driven models. The ca...
