IAEA-TECDOC--819: Earthquakes: Isolation, energy dissipation and control of vibrations of structures for nuclear and industrial facilities and buildings.

International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna (Austria)

Abstract

This report summarizes the contributions to the seminar together with the main technical issues and conclusions. Particular attention is paid to contributions which provided new or updated information with respect to that given at the IAEA Specialists Meeting on Seismic Isolation Technology, held at San Jose (California, USA), 18-20 March 1992. Attention is also paid to the development and implementation of more recent but very promising innovative techniques for the reduction of seismic and other dynamic loads.
