Summary:
Le génie parasismique traite de l'impact des séismes sur les structures et des moyens d'y remédier. Il s'appuie notamment sur une excellente connaissance des méthodes de dimensionnement parasismique, et en particulier du dimensionnement en capacité. Rédigé par deux des spécialistes francophones du domaine, cet ouvrage offre une vue exhaustive de l'ensemble des moyens mis à disposition de l'ingénieur pour limiter l'impact des manifestations sismiques sur les constructions. Il montre toute l'importance de la prise en compte des sollicitations sismiques lors de la phase de conception de bâtiments neufs. Il présente et explique en détail les spécificités du comportement sismique et la méthode de dimensionnement en capacité, développée expressément pour le cas sismique. L'application de cette méthode est traitée dans le cadre des normes de construction les plus récentes. Le nouvel ouvrage de référence en langue française pour les étudiants ingénieurs et les ingénieurs praticiens.

Principalement destiné aux praticiens du secteur du bâtiment non spécialistes du sujet, il offre un aperçu complet de l'ensemble des éléments constructifs à considérer afin d'éviter tout désastre lors d'un séisme. L'ouvrage aborde les thèmes de la vulnérabilité des bâtiments, de la conception parasismique, du dimensionnement et des normes de construction à adopter, ainsi que de l'évaluation sismique des ouvrages existants. Chaque chapitre se clôt pari un résumé synthétique, et un lexique des définitions et des termes spécifiques utilisés dans le texte complète l'ouvrage. Rédigé dans un langage clair et accessible aux profanes du domaine, cet ouvrage sans précédent ni équivalent en langue française constitue une véritable référence pour les architectes, maîtres d'ouvrages et ingénieurs conseil, ainsi que pour un large public intéressé par cette problématique.

While this book was created to introduce the concept of steel honeycomb tubes, in this introductory chapter we present honeycomb tube structures that feature precast prestressed concrete (PC honeycomb tubes) dubbed as 'HTA' (Honeycomb Tube Architecture), which served as precedent. In addition to a summary of Honeycomb Tube Architecture, a book published in December 2006 to exhibit concepts of PC honeycomb tubes, here, we present the results of tests on a 1/3 scale mock-up of the structural system that were conducted in April 2007 along with actual works of architecture being planned for execution.
