Bristol University's Adam Crewe hold a new book, from leading seismologist Roger Musson (British Geological Survey) in high regard.
Nearly three years after they were introduced, to what extent are Eurocodes really being implemented in the UK? CSC's Chief Engineer, Alan Rathbone, discusses the progress the industry has made to date and encourages UK engineers to be at the forefront of these changes.
The design and usage of pedestrian structures has changed substantially in recent years, leading to an increase in problematic post-construction vibrations due to in-service loading. One alternative technology that could be used to help mitigate this problem, particularly in floor structures, is active vibration control (AVC). While relatively mature for the full-structure control of seismic- and wind-induced vibrations, its application to floor structures is in still its infancy. This paper uses field trials and a small number of implementations to illustrate the significant potential for the technology in this area.
