Fastenings to Concrete and Masonry Structures


Book Description

Modern fastening techniques are increasingly being used to transfer loads into concrete and masonry structures. This book aims to compile and compare research on the behaviour of fastening systems. It also proposes an approach to the design of fastenings based on empirical and theoretical models.




Fastenings for Seismic Retrofitting


Book Description

The economic consequences and loss of life make earthquake disasters catastrophic anywhere in the world. Seismic retrofitting, or repair, of buildings is an essential component for mitigating the effects of earthquakes. This state-of-the-art report reviews and introduces the latest design concepts and methods for seismic retrofitting throughout the world, with emphasis on the use of fastening systems.
















Fastenings to Concrete and Masonry Structures


Book Description

Modern fastening techniques are increasingly being used to transfer loads into concrete and masonry structures. In spite of this fact knowledge of the behaviour of such systems is very limited and there is no generally accepted design method. This book has been written by a group of eminent authors from western Europe, Canada, the USA and Japan.
