The Crucial Role of Seismic Analysis and Design in Building Safety According to NBCC and ASCE Guidelines

Seismic analysis and design are fundamental aspects of structural engineering that ensure buildings and their non-structural components can withstand the forces generated by earthquakes. These practices are not just essential for the safety and integrity of structures but are also mandated by comprehensive guidelines and codes such as the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). This article delves into the importance of seismic analysis and design for buildings and non-structural components, guided by the principles set forth in the NBCC and ASCE.

Understanding the Risks

Earthquakes pose a significant risk to life and property. The unpredictable nature of seismic events, combined with the potential for catastrophic damage, underscores the need for rigorous building standards. Seismic analysis and design aim to mitigate these risks by ensuring buildings can endure seismic forces without collapsing, thus safeguarding occupants and minimizing economic losses.

NBCC and ASCE Guidelines: A Benchmark for Safety

The NBCC and ASCE have established benchmarks for seismic safety in the construction industry. The NBCC, applicable in Canada, and the ASCE's standards, widely adopted in the United States and internationally, provide a framework for assessing seismic risks and implementing necessary design and construction practices.

Seismic Analysis

Seismic analysis involves evaluating how a structure responds to earthquake-induced forces. This process helps engineers understand potential stress points and the overall behavior of a building during seismic events. Both the NBCC and ASCE recommend detailed analysis methods, including linear dynamic analysis, nonlinear dynamic analysis, and modal response spectrum analysis, among others. These methodologies help in designing structures that are not only compliant with safety standards but also economically viable.

Design Considerations

The design phase is critical in integrating seismic resilience into buildings. The NBCC and ASCE guidelines emphasize the importance of ductility, redundancy, and energy dissipation in structural elements. Ductility allows parts of the structure to deform under seismic loads without failing, while redundancy ensures that if one part of the structure fails, others can take over the load-carrying responsibilities. Energy dissipation mechanisms are incorporated to reduce the energy transferred to the structure during an earthquake, thereby limiting damage.

Non-Structural Components

Seismic safety extends beyond the structural elements of a building. Non-structural components, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, as well as architectural elements like ceilings, partitions, and facades, play a crucial role in building functionality and occupant safety. The NBCC and ASCE guidelines require these components to be anchored and braced appropriately to prevent detachment or collapse, which could cause injury or block egress paths during an earthquake.

The Path Forward

In conclusion,

the seismic analysis and design of buildings and their non-structural components, as per the standards of the NBCC and ASCE, are indispensable in the pursuit of creating earthquake-resilient communities. These practices embody a proactive approach to disaster mitigation, emphasizing the critical importance of preparedness and the implementation of engineering solutions that protect both people and their environments.

Notes for Metallic Bonding

METALLIC BONDING AND STRUCTURE

Delocalised electrons - electrons that are not associated with one specific atom and are free to move within the molecule structure

Metallic bond - the electrostatic attraction between a lattice of cataions and a sea of delocalised electrons.

In metals, state which electrons are the delocalised electrons present between positive ions in the lattice = valence electrons

Mg(s) has metallic bonding in the interaction between positive metal ions and delocalised valence electrons in a three-dimesional lattice structure. The metal itself is neutral and is made up of many, many atoms.

Identify the ways in which solid metals are similar to solid ionic and covalent network substances:

I. Lattice structures II. Non-directional bonding III. Electrostatic attractions between positive and negative species

Solid metals, ionic compounds and network covalent solids form three-dimensional lattices. In all three types of bonding there is an electrostatic attraction between positively and negatively charged species. Metallic – between cations and delocalised electrons, ionic – between cations and anions, covalent – between positive nuclei and shared electron pair.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND APPLICATION OF METALS

Lustre (shiny appearance)

Delocalised electrons in a metal lattice interact with visible light. When visible light hits the surface of a metal, the electrons absorb some of that energy and vibrate. This vibration generates a second wave of light, which radiates from the surface.

Sonority (sound when struck)

When a metal surface is struck, the free electrons in the metallic lattice can move easily, propagating the incoming sound energy easily throughout the material.

Malleability (can be reshaped on compression) & Ductility (can be drawn out into a wire)

When stress is applied (for example, by bending, hitting with a hard object or pulling), layers within the lattice shift in response to that stress. As these layers shift, the cations in the lattice remain surrounded by delocalised valence electrons, meaning the metallic bonding also remains unaffected.

Electrical conductivity

The delocalised valence electrons can move throughout the metallic lattice. When a potential energy difference is applied to the metal, the delocalised electrons are repelled by the negative terminal and attracted to the positive terminal. This is why metals can conduct electricity in their solid state and why metals are used for electrical wires and cables.

Thermal conductivity

Thermal conductivity in metals is a result of the free electrons in the lattice.

STRENGTH OF THE METALLIC BOND

Strength of the metallic bond

The smaller the radius of the metal ion, the stronger the metallic bond. This is because of the shorter distance between the positive nucleus of the cation and the surrounding delocalised electrons. Dictionary

Charge of the metal ion

The higher the ionic charge, the stronger the metallic bond. This is because:

greater charge on the metal ion

greater number of delocalised valence electrons

The greater the ionic charge and the smaller the ionic radius, the stronger the metallic bond. The stronger the metallic bond, the higher the melting point.

TRANSITION METALS

As there are a large number of valence electrons from both the s and d orbitals, this results in a greater electron density within the metallic lattice. This increased electron density in turn increases the strength of the metallic bond.

Hardness

valence electrons (delocalised) increase attraction and increase metallic bond which results in greater hardness

Electrical Conductivity

Transition elements are electrically conductive. These metals form their metallic bonds through the delocalisation of electrons in unfilled d orbitals. The electrostatic attraction between metal ions in the lattice and delocalised electrons increases with an increasing number of electrons in d orbitals.

In comparison to s block metals, the melting point and electrical conductivity of transition metals are HIGHER and HIGHER

Harnessing the potential of pineapple stem starch film as a biodegradable packaging material

A group of researchers from universities in Thailand and Malaysia have collaborated to develop a unique film that is good for the environment and can decompose naturally. They made this film using leftover pineapple stems, which helps reduce the use of harmful plastic films. This new film has the potential to be used as packaging material, contributing to a more sustainable way of doing business and promoting a circular economy.

In the study published in Membranes, Associate Professor Taweechai Amornsakchai from Mahidol University, Thailand led his team of researchers to successfully developed a biodegradable starch film derived from pineapple stem waste, offering a sustainable alternative to non-biodegradable petroleum-based films commonly used for single-use applications that do not require high strength. The key ingredient utilized in this film is high amylose starch extracted from pineapple stems, which serves as the matrix for the material. To enhance its ductility and flexibility, glycerol and citric acid were incorporated as additives.

Maintaining a fixed glycerol content of 25%, the researchers experimented with varying levels of citric acid, ranging from 0% to 15% by weight of starch. This approach allowed for the preparation of films with a wide spectrum of mechanical properties, catering to diverse application requirements. As the concentration of citric acid increased, the resulting film exhibited a softer and weaker nature while demonstrating enhanced elongation at the point of fracture. The mechanical properties of the films spanned a broad range, from a strength of approximately 21.5 MPa with 2.9% elongation, to a strength of about 6.8 MPa with 35.7% elongation.

an immovable rock: the story of executive dysfunction

Sometimes it’s maddening, the frustration of not being able to get where you need to. Your mind races but it doesn’t get anywhere because your mind is a desperate beggar stuck in a maze and it’s been promised a lifetime’s worth of money if it figures out a way to a non-existent end; money is what makes one live in today’s world after all. Nothing gets done, not because it was the fault of anyone who bothered me. Nothing gets done, not because the weather did not know which mood to pick today. Nothing gets done, not because my table is wobbly and my laptop’s battery fluctuates. Nothing gets done, and I don’t know why. My hands are willing and able, although the joints play hard to get by stiffening my wrists alongside their immalleability. My tactile touches are ductile but the mind and spirit are unwilling. Money needs to come in, but I am unable to come out. Rather, my brain is unable to perform and put out. Therefore, I sit here, at this wooden desk, the make of my parents’ dying hopes and dreams, and type as I, Sisyphus, try to come to terms with the simple truth of an immovable rock.

Do you have any confusion about choosing the Steels and Materials?

Bridging the Gap Between Steel and Carbon Steel! … Remember, when it comes to steel, Virat Special Steels is your trusted guide!🔥

Steel: Steel is an alloy primarily composed of iron, along with other elements such as carbon, silicon, and manganese. It contains carbon, silicon, and manganese in varying proportions.

Properties: Steel has moderate strength. It is less hard compared to carbon steel. Steel is more ductile (can be shaped and bent). It is non-corrosive. Some types of steel (like nickel steel) are not magnetic. Steel can be alloyed with elements like chromium, nickel, and molybdenum to enhance specific properties.

Applications: Used in construction, automobiles, airplane parts, and various industrial applications.

Global Production: The steel industry produces approximately 1.3 billion tons of steel annually.

Carbon Steel: Carbon steel is a type of steel where carbon is the primary alloying element. It contains less than 2% carbon (without other noticeable alloying elements). As the carbon content increases, carbon steel becomes harder and stronger but less ductile and malleable.

Types: - Mild Steel: Contains 0.05% to 0.29% carbon. - Medium Carbon Steel: Contains 0.30% to 0.59% carbon. - High Carbon Steel: Contains 0.60% to 0.99% carbon. - Ultra Carbon Steel: Contains 1.00% to 2.00% carbon. - Finish: Carbon steel usually has a lusterless finish.

What even is pipebomb actually? Bomb shaped pipe? Pipe shaped bomb? Bomb in a pipe? Sending bomb through a pipe?

Pipe bombFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A tripwire-triggered pipe bomb mock-up used to train US military service personnel

A pipe bomb is an improvised explosive device which uses a tightly sealed section of pipe filled with an explosive material. The containment provided by the pipe means that simple low explosives can be used to produce a relatively huge explosion due to the containment causing increased pressure, and the fragmentation of the pipe itself creates potentially lethal shrapnel.

Premature detonation is a hazard of attempting to construct any homemade bomb, and the materials and methods used with pipe bombs make unintentional detonation incidents common, usually resulting in serious injury or death to the assembler.

In many countries, the manufacture or possession of a pipe bomb is a serious crime, regardless of its intended use.

5.1Notable incidents

Design[edit]

Different pipe bombs' appearances, from a bomb awareness report issued by the US Department of State

The bomb is usually a short section of steel water pipe containing the explosive mixture and closed at both ends with steel or brass caps. A fuse is inserted into the pipe with a lead running out through a hole in the side or capped end of the pipe. The fuse can be electric, with wires leading to a timer and battery, or can be a common fuse. All of the components are easily obtainable.

Generally, high explosives such as TNT are not used, because these and the detonators that they require are difficult for non-state users to obtain. Such explosives also do not require the containment design of a pipe bomb.

Instead, explosive mixtures that the builder can more readily obtain themselves are used, such as gunpowder, match heads, or chlorate mixtures. These can be easily ignited by friction, static electricity, and sparks generated when packing the material inside the tube or attaching the end caps, causing many injuries or deaths amongst builders.[1]

Sharp objects such as nails or broken glass are sometimes added to the outer shell or inside of the bomb to increase potential injury, damage, and death.

Operation[edit]

Pipe bombs concentrate pressure and release it suddenly, through the failure of the outer casing. Plastic materials can be used, but metals typically have a much higher bursting strength and so will produce more concussive force. For example, common schedule 40 1-inch (25 mm) wrought steel pipe has a typical working pressure of 1,010 psi (7.0 MPa), and bursting pressure of 8,090 psi (55.8 MPa),[2] though the pipe sealing method can significantly reduce the burst pressure.

The pipe can rupture in different ways, depending on the rate of pressure rise and the ductility of the casing material.

If the pressure rise is slow, the metal can deform until the walls become thin and a hole is formed, causing a loud report from the gas release, but no shrapnel.

A rapid rate of pressure rise will cause the metal to shatter into fragments, which are pushed outward in all directions by the expanding gases.

Modes of failure[edit]

Pipe bombs can fail to explode if the gas pressure buildup is too slow, resulting in bleed-out through the detonator ignition hole. Insufficiently tight threading can also bleed gas pressure through the threads faster than the chemical reaction pressure can rise.

They can also fail if the pipe is fully sealed and the chemical reaction triggered, but the total pressure buildup from the chemicals is insufficient to exceed the casing strength; such a bomb is a dud, but still potentially dangerous if handled, since an external shock could trigger rupture of the statically pressurized casing.

Minimum evacuation distances[edit]

If any type of bomb is suspected, typical recommendations are to keep all people at a minimum evacuation distance until authorized bomb disposal personnel arrive. For a pipe bomb, the US Department of Homeland Security recommends a minimum of 21 m (69 ft), and an outdoors distance of 366 m (1,201 ft).[3]

Uses[edit]

Pipe bombs are by nature improvised weapons and typically used by those without access to military devices such as grenades. They were successfully used in the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939). During World War II, members of the British Home Guard were trained to make and use them.[4]

In Northern Ireland, there have been hundreds of pipe bomb attacks since the mid-1990s (towards the end of the "Troubles"). Most of the attacks have been launched by loyalist paramilitaries, especially the Red Hand Defenders, Orange Volunteers and Ulster Defence Association.[5][6] However, they have also been used by Irish republican paramilitaries and by anti-drugs vigilante group Republican Action Against Drugs. They are also used extensively in the south of Ireland by feuding criminals, including drug dealers, mainly in the capital city of Dublin.

As well as users such as criminals, paramilitaries, and militias, they also have a long tradition of recreational use for amusement or mischief with no intention to cause injury to anyone, but due to the dangers of premature ignition and of shrapnel, pipe bombs are much more dangerous than alternatives such as dry ice bombs or potato cannons.

Notable incidents[

This 1886 engraving was the most widely reproduced image of the

Haymarket riots

. It inaccurately shows Fielden speaking, the pipe bomb exploding, and the rioting beginning simultaneously.

[7]

On 4 May 1886, a pipe bomb was thrown during a rally at Haymarket Square in Chicago, Illinois, United States.[8] It reached a police line and exploded, killing policeman Mathias J. Degan.[8] The bomb was made from gas-pipe filled with dynamite and capped at both ends with wooden blocks.[8]

From August 1977 to November 1977 Allan Steen Kristensen planted several bombs across Copenhagen, Denmark injuring 5 but killing no one.

In 1985, Palestinian American anti-discrimination activist Alex Odeh was killed in California by a pipe-bomb. Activists from the Jewish Defense League are suspected of being the bombers.[9][10]

On December 16, 1989, Federal Judge Robert Vance was assassinated in his home in Mountain Brook, Alabama when he opened a package that contained a pipe bomb mailed by Walter Leroy Moody in Mountain Brook, Alabama.

On 27 July 1996, Eric Rudolph used a pipe bomb in the Centennial Olympic Park bombing during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It killed two people and injured 111.[11]

During the preparation of the Columbine High School Massacre, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold had experimented with pipe bombs. During their testing and experimentation, Eric Harris had posted their results on his website. During the massacre, Harris and Klebold had used their pipe bombs as makeshift hand grenades, alongside various other bombs they had crudely manufactured.

On 11 December 2010 a suicide bomber detonated one out of six pipe bombs close to a major shopping district in Stockholm, Sweden, killing himself with no other casualties in what is known as the 2010 Stockholm bombings.[12]

In October 2018, pipe bombs without triggering devices[13] were sent to various liberal and political figures in the United States. Recipients included political activist and investor George Soros, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, former CIA Director John Brennan, and former Attorney General Eric Holder.[14][15]

On 6 January 2021, a pipe bomb was found at the headquarters of the Republican National Committee, during the certification of President-elect Joe Biden. An unidentified object was also found at the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee, resulting in an evacuation.[16]

Classification of Pipes based on their Materials and Uses

Pipes are products of circular tubing used for transporting fluids. Pipes are built to withstand a certain pressure, which is determined by the temperature at which they will be used. Pipes can vary in many ways depending on factors like their size, schedule, material, pressure and temperature resistance, and so on. The industrial sector makes use of several pipe types for a variety of applications. Pipes are used extensively in a wide variety of industries, including the oil and gas industry, petrochemical as well as chemical industries, process industries, the power sector, the food and beverage industry, HVAC manufacturers, steel manufacturers, pipeline manufacturers, plumbing manufacturers, refineries, and many others. In today's contemporary industrial plants, piping is absolutely essential. Different criteria are used to determine the type of pipe to be used. A variety of pipes used extensively in manufacturing industries will be discussed further in this article.

Types of Pipes based on Material:

Most commonly, pipes are categorised according to the raw material from which they are made. Both plastic and metal pipes are often used, yet there are distinct differences between the two.

Metallic Pipes

Non-metallic Pipes

Metallic Pipes:

Metallic pipes refer to those that are fabricated from metal rather than other materials. They are classified as under:

● Pipes made up of ferrous materials

● Pipes made up of non-ferrous materials

- Pipes made up of ferrous materials:

These pipes are heavier and more durable than others. The primary element of these pipes is iron. Ferrous material pipes are typically constructed of

● Carbon steel pipes

● Stainless steel pipes

● Alloy steel pipes

● DSS pipes

● Cast Iron pipes

● Ductile Iron pipes, etc

This group of pipes can withstand higher pressures and temperatures. Jindal pipes for Oil, Gas and Water supply supplied by Tube Trading Co., used in industrial settings including refining, chemical and petrochemical processing, power generation, etc. are typically formed of ferrous elements.

- Pipes made up of Non-ferrous materials:

Pipes from this assortment are not primarily made of iron. The likes of brass, aluminium, copper, etc., are what they're often crafted from. Some typical examples of non-ferrous pipes are

● Aluminium and its alloy pipes.

● Copper and its alloy pipes.

● Nickel and its alloy pipes.

● Titanium and its alloy pipes.

● Zirconium and its alloy pipes.

Non-metallic Pipes:

Commonly employed in services where the temperature is not a factor, non-metallic pipes are becoming more and more common. Most of the non-metallic pipes are utilised in the water industry as well as drainage systems. If you are looking for the most distinguished supplier of Jindal spiral welded coated pipes in India, Tube Trading Co. is the most trustworthy supplier in Gujarat, India.

The most regularly used types of non-metal pipes are:

● PE/HDPE Pipes

● CPVC/PVC/UPVC/ Pipes

● PP pipes

● Reinforced thermoplastic pipes

● ABS Pipes

● Composite pipes

● Asbestos and Cement Pipes

● Vitrified clay pipes

Composite pipes', as well as reinforced plastic primary benefits, are their extreme resistance to corrosion and long lifespan. where metal pipes are often made to last up to 25 years. Reinforced plastic and composite pipes can survive for up to half a century with no problems. But the temperature is their biggest restriction. Metallic pipes can withstand the high temperatures that are required in some industrial processes. Stormwater, gravity service, the irrigation industry, and culverts are common applications for cement pipes made from reinforced concrete.

Pipes, classified on the basis of the industry:

- For Power Piping as well as Chemical Industries:

These pipes can withstand extreme heat and pressure without breaking down. The chemical, electricity, petrochemical, steel, oil, and gas industries all rely heavily on pipes constructed of ferrous materials. They are often developed in accordance with international standards such as ASME B31.3 and ASME B31.1. They are typically chosen for their high pressure, temperature, and corrosion resistance tolerance. Being an excellent supplier of industrial pipes and tubes, Tube Trading Co. can fulfil all of your Jindal spiral welded coated pipes requirements.

- For the Plumbing industry:

Plumbing pipes can be made from a variety of materials, including plastic (PVC), metal (Copper and PEX), plastic (ABS), cast iron (galvanised steel), or steel (cast iron). Their primary function is to transport water from one location to another.

- Pipes for the Pipeline industry:

Line pipes are what you'll typically hear people refer to when they talk about pipes utilised in the pipeline industry. These pipes are typically designed according to API 5L specifications. Pipes according to API 5L standards are available in a wide range of grades for transporting liquids such as oil, natural gas, and water. In addition to DSS, FRP, SS, GRE, SDSS, etc., there are a variety of other materials used for pipelines.

SVR Global is the leading API globe valve manufacturer in USA and supplies top notch quality valves in various oil and gas industries, chemical industries in Chicago, New York and Houston. API stands for American Petroleum Institute. API Globe valves are operated to control the flow of fluids in the system. They are usually used for throttling the flow apart from controlling as well. These valves have a stem which moves up and down to control the flow of fluids & a disc and seat that is attached to the body of the valve. Globe valves are the best among other valves for controlling and regulating the flow of fluids. These valves are bi-directional which means they can move in either direction inside the valve. The fluid flow in globe valves is highest when its disc is raised. They are operated manually and automatically. Parts: •Body: The body of an API globe valve is a shell that houses all the internal parts of the valve. •Bonnet: The bonnet is a cover that sits on top of the valve body and provides access to the internal parts of the valve. It is usually bolted to the valve body and can be removed for maintenance or repair. •Disc: The disc, also known as the plug or the disk, is a movable component that regulates the flow of fluid through the valve. It can be moved up or down by the valve stem to open or close the valve. •Stem: The stem is a threaded rod that connects the valve disc to the valve handwheel or actuator. It is used to control the position of the valve disc and regulate the flow of fluid. •Seat: The seat is a sealing surface that is in contact with the valve disc to provide a tight shut-off. It is usually made of a resilient material such as rubber, , or metal. •Packing: The packing is a set of seals that prevent leakage of fluid through the valve stem. It is typically made of graphite or other flexible materials. •Gland: The gland is a component that compresses the packing material around the valve stem to provide a tight seal. It is usually made of metal.

Periodic Table Championship: Round 1, Day 1, Nickel vs. Actinium

The fourth match of our periodic table championship is element 28, nickel, versus element 89, actinium. Let’s meet our challengers:

Nickel is a hard, ductile, transition metal that crystalizes in the face-centered cubic crystal structure. The element is one of four ferromagnetic elements at room temperature and is primarily used in the production of stainless steels, followed by nickel- and copper-based alloys. The name of this element comes from the name of a sprite from German mythology, as copper-nickel ores were difficult to refine into copper.

Actinium is a soft, radioactive actinide element that crystalizes in the face-centered cubic crystal structure. The element is one of the first four non-primoridal radioactive elements isolated, however, it is very difficult to separate from lanthanum and thus has no practical commercial applications. The name of this element comes from the Greek word meaning ray or beam, as actinium's radioactivity gives it a pale blue glow.
