Results - Needs• The awareness of the seismic risk, the needs for

good preparedness and mitigation measures must be raised up among which and of most important ones is the design of buildings to resist the earthquake forces.

• But it seam's that the lack of guides and publications in Arabic language, which help engineers and designers in implementing the Code requirements to design buildings to resist seismic hazards, forms an obstacle in rising up the awareness of using this code to the needed level to help in the mitigation of earthquake hazards as expected.

• The scope of this project is to translate the publication named "Seismic Conceptual Design of Building – Basic Principles for Engineers, Architects, building owners and authorities" by Hugo Bachmann to Arabic Language.

SCOPE OF THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECTPROJECT

Seismic Design of Buildings Translation and Adaptation of

Bachmann Publication

What is this document? Seismic Conceptual Design of Buildings – Basic principlesfor engineers, architects, building owners,and authorities. by Hugo Bachmann

1. This document offers a broad out line of the art of designing earthquake resistant building. It describes basic principles guiding the seismic design of structures. These principles govern primarily the conceptual design and the detailing of the structural elements and non-structural elements of the building.

2. The basic principles are intentionally simple . Calculations and detailed design are only marginally introduced.

3. The outlined principles are applicable to new buildings . But , it is quite clear that they may also used for the evaluation and possible upgrading of existing buildings .
