Dear
Sir/ Madam, One
of the objectives of NICEE has been to educate the general populace
about
seismic safety related issues by providing relevant literature and
information in
local vernacular languages. NICEE
announces the Hindi translation of IITK-BMTPC
Earthquake Tips by Prof. CVR Murty and Earthquake-Resistant
Confined Masonry Construction by Prof. Svetlana Brzev. For this
work, NICEE
acknowledges the efforts put in by Vigyan Prasar, NOIDA and DMMC,
Dehradun for the
translation of Earthquake Tips and Confined
Masonry, respectively. Earthquake Tips contains
24 Tips which are written for general public interested in earthquake
resistant
building construction with no prior knowledge of engineering. The tips
cover topics
such as basic introduction to earthquake and terminology such as
magnitude and
intensity, concepts of earthquake resistant design, and aspects of
seismic
design and construction of buildings. Despite the complexity of the
concepts
care has been taken to keep the Tips simple and unambiguous. Confined
Masonry has evolved over the last hundred years through an informal
process
based on its satisfactory performance in past earthquakes in countries
and
regions of extremely high seismic risk. It is used both for
non-engineered and
engineered construction; its field applications range from one- and
two-storey
single-family dwellings to six-storey apartment buildings. This
monograph is
written for building professionals interested in learning more about
confined
masonry construction and for those who would like to promote its
application in
countries with high earthquake risk.
Interested persons may obtain copies on payment of ` 200/- per
copy of each title (overseas order may add ` 700/- per
copy to cover air-mail postage and handling), by sending an email with
their
complete name, affiliation, organization and postal address to ni...@iitk.ac.in. Payment
can be made by
credit card at web site www.nicee.org/payment.php .
The payment can
also be made by a draft/cheque in favour of ‘National Information
Centre of
Earthquake Engineering’ payable at Kanpur. Outstation cheques, not
payable at
par at Kanpur, will also be accepted and should add ` 95/- as
bank charges. The requests should be sent to: Cdr
