Earthquake disaster prevention is a fascinating area requiring ingenious solutions to its unique problems. The benefits of sharing information from developments in this field are also of vital importance.  \u003cp\u003eThis new book describes and assesses the seismic requirements for different types of structures. In focussing on nuclear chemical plants critical guidance is given on design and cost-effective methods. Bringing together valuable experience from a wide range of disciplines, this important volume covers an informative selection of topics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents include:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduction to Seismic Design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExpected accelerations and ways to minimize interaction between structural and mechanical components\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe practical aspects of designing and assessing mechanical handling equipment for seismic events\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNuclear safety requirements for travelling cranes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOverview of vessel seismic design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSeismic qualification of existing pipework in UK nuclear power plants\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConstruction of a three-dimensional, large-scale shaking table land development of core technology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe contributors to this book are experts in their field whether they are from the nuclear, academic, governmental, or engineering consultant sectors.

His career has been spent with design, manufacture, and construction contracting companies serving the civil nuclear power industry. He progressed from design engineer to design manager, business director, and finally engineering director before retiring in 2000. While not a seismic specialist, experience of projects with a seismic requirement was gained in the USA, Romania, Hungary, and Japan, in addition to the UK. He is the author of numerous technical papers on the subject of dry storage of spent nuclear fuels and was Chairman of the IMechE Nuclear Power Committee for a number of years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn MacFarlane\u003c\/b\u003e is a chartered mechanical and chartered civil engineer with over 30 years' experience in the heavy mechanical, civil, and nuclear industries. For the past 22 years, he has had a specific interest in the seismic qualification and design of nuclear power plant structures, systems, and plant gained in the UK and overseas. He has published a number of papers nationally and internationally, and is currently Group Head of Civil Engineering, for British Energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e08 September 2003\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781860583643\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e224\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44384849461388,"sku":"9781860583643","price":242.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781860583643.jpg?v=1780193838","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781860583643","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
