Basic Concepts of Seismic Restraint of Non-Structural Components
This presentation addresses the topic from the basic question: What is an earthquake and how is it characterized? Next, the importance of adequate seismic restraint of non-structural components is explored and how this will depend on the geographic location of the project.
Based on the International Building Code (IBC), the essential parameters that determine whether it is necessary to implement seismic restrictions on a specific component are examined.
The presentation concludes with an analysis of the various practical solutions available. The goal is to introduce the basis of seismic restraint on non-structural components to Mechanical Engineers.
Basic Concepts and Good Practices in the World of Vibration Isolation
This presentation addresses the conceptual foundations and appropriate practices in the field of vibration isolation. The tour begins with an exploration of the basic concepts of vibration control, including fundamental equations and materials used. The importance of carrying out an appropriate selection of isolators in the world of HVAC will also be delved into, in accordance with the guidelines and standards established by ASHRAE.
The presentation conveys theoretical knowledge, combined with the best practices and recommendations derived from extensive experience in the field.
