Klaus-G. Hinzen – författare

This edited book is based on the best papers accepted for presentation during the 2nd Springer Conference of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (CAJG-2), Tunisia, in 2019. It is of interest to all researchers practicing geophysics/seismology, structural, and petroleum geology.With four sections spanning a large spectrum of geological and geophysical topics with particular reference to Middle East, Mediterranean region, and Africa, this book presents a series of research methods that are nowadays in use for measuring, quantifying, and analyzing several geological domains.It starts with a subsection dedicated to the latest research studies on seismic hazard and risk assessment in Africa presented during the 2019 IGCP-659 meeting organized alongside the CAJG-2. And, it includes new research studies on earthquake geodesy, seismotectonics, archeoseismology and active faulting, well logging methods, geodesy and exploration/theoretical geophysics, petroleum geochemistry, petroleum engineering, structural geology, basement architecture and potential data, tectonics and geodynamics, and thermicity, petroleum, and other georesources. The edited book gives insights into the fundamental questions that address the genesis and evolution of our planet, and this is based on data collection and experimental investigations under physical constitutive laws. These multidisciplinary approaches combined with the geodynamics of tectonic provinces and investigations of potential zones of natural resources (petroleum reservoirs) provide the basis for a more sustainability in the economic development.

This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the theory of structural dynamics, highlighting practical issues and illustrating applications with a large number of worked out examples. In the spirit of “learning by doing” it encourages readers to apply immediately these methods by means of the software provided, allowing them to become familiar with the broad field of structural dynamics in the process.The book is primarily focused on practical applications. Earthquake resistant design is presented in a holistic manner, discussing both the underlying geophysical concepts and the latest engineering design methods and illustrated by fully worked out examples based on the newest structural codes. The spectral characteristics of turbulent wind processes and the main analysis methods in the field of structural oscillations due to wind gusts and vortex shedding are also discussed and applications illustrated by realistic examples of slender chimney structures. The user‐friendly software employed is downloadable and can be readily used by readers to tackle their own problems.

Ein Buch mit allen ingenieurtechnischen Fakten zum Erdbebenschutz von BauwerkenDieses Buch bietet Ihnen einen umfassenden Überblick über die Faktoren der Erdbebenbeanspruchung von Baukonstruktionen. Es verfolgt den Anspruch, sowohl geophysikalische als auch ingenieurtechnische Aspekte des Erdbebeningenieurwesens zu beleuchten. Auf diese Weise fördern die Autoren die notwendige Zusammenarbeit von Geophysikern mit Bauingenieuren angesichts der ständig komplexer werdenden Aufgaben im Bereich des Bauwesens.Um Ihnen den Zugang zu diesem Themenkomplex zu erleichtern, gehen die Autoren zunächst auf baudynamische sowie seismologische Grundlagen ein. Das Buch „Bauwerke und Erbeben“ liefert Ihnen aber nicht nur theoretisches Wissen. Im anschließenden Kapitel „Seismische Beanspruchung von Konstruktionen“ stehen Rechenverfahren zur Ermittlung der Bauwerksbeanspruchung im Fokus. Zudem erfahren Sie mehr über maßgebende Normen sowie die Ermittlung der seismischen Vulnerabilität vonGebäuden. So werden Sie fit für die Praxis.Die aktuelle Auflage überzeugt mit einigen NeuerungenBesonderes Augenmerk legen die Autoren in diesem Buch auf die Erbebenbemessung von Konstruktionen nach DIN 4149 und DIN EN 1998-1. Schließlich hat der Übergang zum europäischen Normenkonzept einige Veränderungen mit sich gebracht. Im Vergleich zu früheren Auflagen bietet Ihnen dieses Buch die folgenden Neuerungen:·      Kapitel 3 wurde um statisch nichtlineare Verfahren ergänzt.·      Kapitel 6 zeigt die aktuellsten Forschungsergebnisse aus dem Bereich der seismischen Auslegung von Mauerwerksbauten.·      Kapitel 7 widmet sich der seismischen Berechnung von Silos und Tanks.·      Kapitel 8 behandelt Absperrbauwerke am Beispiel von Erddämmen.Ein Lehrbuch mit vielen praktischen KomponentenNach dem Prinzip von „learning bydoing“ enthält das Buch viele Zahlenbeispiele. Die dazu benötigten Rechenprogramme finden Sie auf der beiliegenden CD, die dazu dient, neben den theoretischen Grundlagen auch den Praxisbezug des Lehrbuchs zu gewährleisten. So werden Sie im Selbststudium vom Leser zum Anwender. Wir empfehlen, das Buch besonders als Nachschlagewerk für praktisch tätige Ingenieure und als Lehrbuch für Studierende verschiedener Fachrichtungen zu nutzen.
