DESCRIPTION:
They provide an extensive survey of different methods for qualifying equipment and systems, including analysis, dynamic testing, earthquake experience data, and comparative assessment using combined methods. The seismic performance of these systems and their components is critical in order to minimize damage and life-threatening risks associated with seismic events while also protecting capital investment. Earthquake Protection of Building Equipment and Systems presents a framework for applying the latest earthquake engineering rese

Instructor Herb LeKuch selected it as principal text in his seres of "Seismic Protection of Critical Equipment" short courses commencing in September at NTS, Acton, MA. A shortcoming: we wish for more pictures. Herb's PowerPoint slides will address the pictorial shortage.
