This 3 day/2 night itinerary was designed for wheelchair users and their companions visiting Bilbao, Spain. Key activities and sites included are a tour of Old Town Bilbao, visiting the Guggenheim Museum, hiking along the coast on special chairs, visiting a traditional Basque winery and estate, and staying in a fully accessible hotel. The itinerary aims to provide full accessibility and enjoyment of Bilbao's most representative destinations.
This document provides a summary of upcoming events and policy briefings from the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce. It outlines several in-person briefings on topics like the state legislature, real estate, and inter-city visits. It also advertises an upcoming community report and lists registration details for these events using the hashtag #CHCPolicySeries.
This study assesses the seismic vulnerability of a masonry building cluster in Casentino, Italy using the FaMIVE analytical approach. The method characterizes the buildings, models the facades, evaluates seismic performance through capacity and fragility curves, and identifies failure mechanisms. Regression analysis found that the number of free corners and level of anchorage most affect vulnerability. Capacity and fragility curves derived with and without restraints show global vulnerability is sensitive to restraint levels. The identified failure mechanisms agreed well with observed damage.
Seismic vulnerability of flat plate column joint with out slab shear reinforc...eSAT Journals
This document summarizes a study on the seismic vulnerability of flat plate column joints without slab shear reinforcement. A finite element model was developed and calibrated based on an experimental test. The model was then used to analyze flat plate column joints without slab shear reinforcement subjected to combined gravity and cyclic lateral loads. The results showed that joints without slab shear reinforcement are vulnerable to brittle punching shear failure and have low ductility. Inclusion of slab shear reinforcement can improve behavior in terms of ductility, energy dissipation, and resisting punching failure.
Seismic vulnerability and building performance for structures and MEP Equipmentmichaeljmack
Here are some recommendations for specifying concrete, rebars, etc. to improve performance during an earthquake:
- Specify higher grade/strength concrete and reinforcing steel to resist seismic forces better.
- Provide continuous reinforcement with lap splices located away from regions of high stress.
- Use seismic/hoop reinforcement in potential plastic hinge regions like beam-column joints.
- Consider use of seismic hooks on longitudinal rebar at ends to improve ductility.
- Ensure minimum concrete cover over reinforcing is maintained as per code.
- For cast-in-place structures, consider post-installed reinforcement like rebar micropiles if needed to strengthen existing foundations.
- For precast structures,

Rapid visual screening of critical facilities in the Kingston MetropolitChristopher Gayle M.Eng
The document summarizes the results of a Rapid Visual Screening (RVS) of critical facilities in the Kingston Metropolitan Area of Jamaica according to FEMA 154 methodology. A total of 66 critical facilities, including police stations, health centers, and fire stations, were surveyed. The RVS identified 11 structures located on soil type F which requires site-specific evaluation. The screening provided preliminary information on the seismic vulnerability of critical facilities to help inform post-earthquake response planning in the region.

1. The document proposes a national policy for seismic vulnerability assessment of buildings in India consisting of 3 levels - rapid visual screening (RVS), simplified vulnerability assessment (SVA), and detailed vulnerability assessment (DVA).
2. RVS involves a visual evaluation to identify structural systems and attributes affecting seismic performance. SVA uses limited engineering analysis based on visual observations and plans. DVA requires detailed computer analysis.
3. The policy recommends RVS for all buildings, SVA for buildings with high occupancy, and DVA for critical buildings. Assessment results can be used for risk management, retrofitting, and raising awareness.
Rapid visual screening (RVS) is a procedure to assess building safety and seismic risk by visually identifying a building's structural system and vulnerabilities. The document discusses conducting RVS in Gangtok to screen for earthquake safety. It provides context on population and earthquake intensities. Guidelines are given on screening for issues like soft stories, floating columns, reinforcement, pounding between buildings. The screening aims to classify buildings based on risk to prioritize retrofitting to reduce seismic risk.
Earthquake engineering deals with understanding earthquakes, their causes, and designing structures to withstand earthquake forces. Seismic risk depends on the hazard level, local site conditions like soil type, and the vulnerability of structures. India is divided into four seismic hazard zones, and most large cities have moderate to high hazard levels. The damage from an earthquake at a given location is influenced by local soil conditions, which can amplify ground shaking. A structure's performance depends on both ground motions and its structural characteristics. Vulnerability in India is expected to be very high due to poor building construction practices. Information about hazard levels, site effects, and vulnerability can be combined to assess seismic risk, which remains high in India due to uncertainties and high vulnerability
Aci 318 08-seismic-requirements-l e garciaAycin Mungan
The document summarizes key changes to seismic design requirements in ACI 318-08. Some notable changes include:
- Seismic design requirements are now based on Seismic Design Category (SDC) rather than seismic zone.
- Chapter 21 was reorganized according to SDC levels from A to F, with increasing requirements.
- New definitions related to Chapter 21 were added.
- Intermediate precast structural walls and two-way slab-column frames without beams have specific requirements.
- Special moment frame members have more stringent reinforcement detailing based on axial load level and member dimensions.
The document provides an introduction to seismic design, including:
1) It discusses plate tectonics and how earthquakes occur at plate boundaries.
2) It describes different effects of earthquakes like ground shaking, liquefaction, landslides, and tsunamis.
3) It explains seismic design categories which depend on location, soil type, occupancy, and expected ground shaking. The design category determines the required design procedures.
1) Geophysics uses remote sensing to determine subsurface conditions by analyzing seismic and radar signals that travel through and reflect off underground materials.
2) There are four main modes of signal propagation: vertical reflection, wide angle reflection, critical refraction, and direct waves. Precisely measuring the travel times of these signals allows subsurface structures to be interpreted.
3) Reflection seismology analyzes reflected signals to determine depth to interfaces by relating travel time, distance between source and receiver, and velocity, while refraction seismology uses travel times of critically refracted signals to determine shallow subsurface velocity structure.
The document discusses various grading and reporting systems used in education. It describes the objectives of grading systems as providing results to students, parents, and administrators in a brief and understandable way. Various types of systems are examined, including traditional letter grades, pass-fail, checklists of objectives, letters to parents, portfolios, and parent-teacher conferences. Guidelines are provided for developing effective grading systems and conducting productive parent-teacher meetings.

Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates underneath the earth's surface. When the plates shift and release stress, seismic waves propagate outward from the epicenter. Scientists measure the intensity of earthquakes using the Richter scale. During an earthquake, it is important to drop, cover, and hold on underneath sturdy furniture to protect oneself from falling debris.
