DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis manual has been prepared for use as a reference materials for their day to day inspection business and for assistance in the training of new inspectors. This is also a supplement to applicable Standards, such as ASTM, ACI, AWS, etc. as well as building codes, such as UBC, SBC, etc.; thus, any references made in this manual reflects to the applicable code and/or standard test method. Inspection is the observation of construction for conformance with the approved design documents. It shall not be relied upon by others as guarantee or acceptance of work, nor shall it in any manner relieve any contractor or other party from their obligations and responsibilities under the construction contract, or generally accepted industry custom, or building codes and standards. Included in this manual are materials for other testing and inspection, for which there are currently no special training program or certifications available or offered. H.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEarthquakes in the United States are regional in their occurrence and while California is famous for its earthquake other states, such as Texas, have much less concern for the threat of temblors. However, architectural practice is becoming increasingly national and global, and the architect in Texas may find that the next project is in California. Thus it has become necessary for the professional architect to have some knowledge of the earthquake problem and how design seeks to control it. Designing for Earthquakes: a Manual for Architects is intended to explain the principles of seismic design for those without a technical background in engineering and seismology. The primary intended audience is that of architects, and includes practicing architects, architectural students and faculty in architectural schools who teach structures and seismic design. For this reason the text and graphics are focused on those aspects of seismic design that are important for the architect to know. Because of its non-technical approach this publication will also be useful to anyone who has an interest and concern for the seismic protection of buildings, including facility managers, building owners and tenants, building committee participants, emergency service personnel and building officials. Engineers and engineering students will also gain from this discussion of seismic design from an architectural viewpoint. The principles discussed are applicable to a wide range of building types, both new and existing. The focus is on buildings that are designed by a team that includes architects, engineers and other consultants.
