ABSTRACT
The present thesis work deals with comparison of the code provisions in seismic design of building
stipulated in three seismic codes namely; National Building Code of Nepal NBC105:1994, Criteria for
Earthquake Resistance Design of Structure IS1893:2002 and Uniform Building Code UBC1997.
The regulation of design and construction worked out for a region may not be suitable for other regions.
Codal provisions of codes of developed countries may reflect the recent technological developme ....etc

Bridges are lifeline structures. They act, as an important page link in surface transportation network and failure of bridges during a seismic event will seriously hamper the relief and rehabilitation work. There are many cases of damage of bridges in the past earthquakes all over the world. Due to their structural simplicity, bridges are particularly vulnerable to damage and even collapse when subjected to earthquakes. The fundamental period of vibration of a majority of bridges is in the range of 0.2 to 1.2 second. In this range, the structur ....etc

Many structures have their fundamental frequencies of vibration within the range
of frequencies where the energy of most of the earthquake ground motions is a maximum. In such cases a structure will amplify the ground vibrations and produce accelerations, which increases from the base of the structure to its top. Besides producing undesirable levels of acceleration in the structure, these amplified structural motions can cause large stresses in structural elements and large relative displacements between different parts of the structure.

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SEISMIC SENSOR


INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
There are two basic types of seismic sensors: inertial seismometers which measure ground motion relative to an inertial reference (a suspended mass), and strainmeters or extensometers which measure the motion of one point of the ground relative to another. Since the motion of the ground relative to an inertial reference is in most cases much larger than the differential motion withi ....etc

Abstract:
In this seminar the analysis of soil-structure interaction effects and of multiple support excitation on the seismic response of long-span cable-supported bridges are presented. The purpose of this seminar is to provide a better understanding of the dynamic performance of cable supported bridges under earthquake excitation, considering the spatial variability of the ground motion and the complex phenomena of soil-bridge interaction, so that such effects can be included in the design and rehabilitation process. Amplification of struct ....etc

Abstract:
This seminar is intended to evaluate the applicability of Nonlinear Static Procedure by implementing the Displacement Coefficient Method to bridges. For comparison purposes, the Nonlinear Dynamic Procedure (or nonlinear time-history analysis), which is considered to be the most accurate and reliable method of nonlinear seismic analysis, is also performed. A three-span bridge of 97.5 meters (320 ft) in total length was analyzed using both the Nonlinear Static Procedure/Displacement Coefficient Method and nonlinear time-history. Nine ....etc
