The first book to provide independent guidance for the design and application of Shock Transmission Units (STUs), including their use in bridge and nuclear structures.
Recent earthquakes in many countries of the world have confirmed the potential for very large seismic events that were not forecast. In response to these events, new technologies and design efforts have resulted in the development of seismic protection systems which include STUs together with various seismic isolation and energy mitigation devices.
In addition to the guidance given on design and application of STUs, the book also provides guidance on procurement and testing, inspection and maintenance, looks at how STUs can represent a cost-effective solution to seismic design, and includes a list of major suppliers around the world.
