OSTI ID:5460554
The first two chapters of this book and Appendix 1 are used to familiarize the reader with the nature of earthquakes, the basics of earthquake resistant design, and example building codes. Chapters 3 and 4 and Appendix 3 consume the majority of the text and introduce the reader to a comprehensive seismic qualification system and to general support equipment such as simple shelved items. Terms and concepts such as seismic categories, earthquake testing analysis, seismic specifications, and suggested installation details are introduced. A wide range of individual equipment items are discussed and suggestions are made for implementing the techniques of seismic qualification. (JMT)
