Earthquake Tips : Learning Seismic Design and Construction

Earthquake Tips has been released by IITK and is targeted at persons interested in building construction. The Tips cover topics such as basic introduction to earthquakes and terminology such as magnitude and intensity, concepts of earthquake resistant design, and aspects of a seismic design and construction of buildings. Utmost care is taken to ensure that despite complexity of the concepts, the Tips are simple and unambiguous. To ensure the highest quality of technical contents, every Tip is carefully reviewed by two or more experts, both within and outside India and their feedback is used before finalizing the Tips.

------------- Repair and Rehabilitation of Concrete Structures --------------- By, Poonam I. Modi & Chirag N. Patel

Since the subject of repairs and rehabilitation is very exhaustive and entails great complexities / varieties in terms of types of distress / deterioration, materials and techniques available for repairs and rehabilitations, it has always been a daunting task for the authors to select aspects to be covered in this book. Following sections gives the panoramic view of this book organized into six chapters: Chapter 1 (Introduction) gives quick overview and relevance of repairs and rehabilitation of structures besides outlining general scenario of prevalence of deterioration of concrete structures, broad reasons for distress in structures explaining what can go wrong with structures, and a general roadmap and steps to be followed for carrying out any structural repairs and rehabilitation. This section also defines some of the important terms that are used in this book. Chapter 2 (Distress in Structures- Serviceability and Durability...
