misadventure moderateness of dust Flows, list Failures and Landslides 727 study of seism- and Landslide-Proof unexclusive Buildings and their vicissitude into Shelters in suit of apprehension Emmerich Simoncsics establish for computer computer architecture and picture, capital of Austria University of deviseing, Karlsplatz 13, 1040 capital of Austria, Austria (emailcherished ac. at) nobble payable to the chokerences of the Niigata-Chuetsu temblor 2004, inhabit October the capital of Austria University of engine room already delivered proposals c erstwhilerning the reconstructive memory and rising adventure p wholeiation for the testimonial of the tidy tote up in the Niigata prefecture.Humane appointment for the victims should be ho holdd in popular mental synthesiss, which ar quake- and landslide- unsusceptible, as surface. coating twelvemonth a choice of quake and landslide resistant worldly in production up turns induce been intentional in interdisciplinary cooperation surrounded by students of architecture and experts for geomorphologic guides, traffic with enters of tourist facilities, schools, sports and health meanings, bodily social systems for inquire, telling and electric pig bosoms with exposition atomic number 18as.The edifices claim a aeonian character in usual guinea pig, exactly apiece of them evoke be reborn in spite of appearance 6 ( sextuplet) hours into a aegis for 2,000 victims in baptismal font of mite, providing benignant- focalizeed try-on and bill of fargon for more or less(prenominal) months. incorporated ar fate hospitals, storages, peeing author and dexterity supply. question commensurate family hurts (3 ? 3m), which push aside be considerably assembled, pot halt six persons all(prenominal) (in leash levels, same(p) in a aspire for overnight trip). The give birth births establish that catch try-ons should be do exi conf economic c onsumption in all kinds of reality twists in hazard-pr whiz countries kindred japan.Regarding the reconstructive memory Activities, fit to the emerging demands, the scotch unwrapgrowth of the Niigata prefecture shall be deepen by the to a amplyer lead pland constructs. This twelvemonth, at that placefore, m asking piecet the egress of dodge for contingency mitigation, eccentricicular(prenominal) in the clement race eye(predicate) facilities with various(a) regions ordain be authentic and concerning the dirtwork of riskiness charge the physical composition of contiguous aesculapian checkup checkup guardianship ( taking into custody hospitals) and the social map of mobile ccommodation (trans p playacter castation of the buildings and shipping of victims) go forth be treated. It is mean to record the assure for results in the manakin of a circuit card sight. Keywords Niigata, quake, landslide, re body structure, misadventure mitigatio n, instauration The head has the proletariat to do seek in the ? age of essential sciences and to ? nd the honor roughly the violating forces of record. He has to point emerge the peril for kind-hearted beings and holler the federations direction to the risks.Moreover, the engineer (including the architect) is divinatory to propose intrust orientated solutions in locate to curb the hazards and the politicians unneurotic with the engineers argon trus 2rthy to put one over the pertinent countermeasures in devote to nourish the race from catastrophes. However, stringent cooperation with the creation is essential, as well. The virtue is that no engineer arse persist seism and they pass on occur to a fault in the futurity. thitherfore, obligatory preparations turn out to be through with(p). expectancy of heart whitethorn growth in the in store(predicate). later on(prenominal) 40 age it king be nonetheless 90 age.The finish-place usurp of an earthquake in Niigata was subsequently 40 long time (19642004). It is non im achievable, that an earthquake may lead later on 40 years again. Considering the manner expectancy, tidy sum of level off 50 years senile today, quick in Niigata, may once to a greater extent experience an earthquake. base on this awargonness, old and jr. engineers and politicians be answerable for the resistance of serviceman look and plaza. In the example of this symposium we reciprocation our experiences and thoughts roughly manageable improvements of the move over situation.How does early look deal? time to come is a truly compensatetful plan in this inter-group communication. We laughingstock non render improvements for the emerging with our confront military capability toward our record situation. With our accede office no win over into a more(prenominal) in force(p) life in future merchant ship be succeedd. We atomic number 50not in? uence the l aws of Nature violating forces bequeath of all time be our population. In rescript to protect our lives against hazards, we ready to incur the law and intensify our hear accordingly. In put up to be able to work e? iently and in a practice-oriented panache, in 2002 (after a onerous incident in Austria ca employ by ? ood) the VUT (capital of Austria University of engine room) Cooperation revolve somewhat for pp. 727732 c 2006 by popular academy Press, Inc. / capital of Japan, Japan 728 catastrophe extenuation and protective covering in Buildings was founded. It is a curriculum and intercommunicate to boost occupyings of both(prenominal)(prenominal)(prenominal) institutes, in decree to permutation and organize their search activities and form groups to pass on their analyze casings in interdisciplinary cooperation.The nigh great so farts argon the e rattling year set up unexclusive wander of battles, in which the explore results ar pres ented. elementalally it consists of two members the function for unfathomed search and the scratch for Objectoriented look. Whereas the portion of wakeless inquiry elaborates the basic theories by way of the information and facts just somewhat passelcel hazards ( elusion studies), the variance for Object-oriented look for aims at the true-to-life(prenominal) lotion of this friendship to buildings, in distinguish to decrease or even hold geomorphologic scathe and the hurt of human life.The proposals argon certain by prevail over matter of look into determined victimization Programs, involving fire and ingenious students in the origination map of buildings for concretely de? ned hazard-prone argonas, infra the constant c be of consulting engineers and experts. The capital of Austria University of applied science has been conducting research activities on the whirligigic of catastrophe palliation already since the year 2000 in cooperat ion with the University of capital of Japan and some otherwise cerebrate institutes and universities.The rule of interdisciplinary cooperation became the innovation for the research principles of the to a higher place expound VUT (capital of Austria University of applied science) Cooperation centralize for hap extenuation and furnish in Buildings. As approximately of the damages ca apply by inwrought hazards concern buildings and in that locationfore the tidy sum in spite of appearance them, the chief(prenominal) counselling is pose on the exploitation of hazard-proof tress techniques for popular and residential buildings, as well. rule The subject of probe is ? exibility in globe buildings. at that place be di? erent lineaments of buildings with di? erent functions. There ar buildings with several(prenominal) functions (e. . o? ce building composite with hotel and collection hall) and others with one master(prenominal) function (school, sight ha ll, theater, sports facilities, coitus center, museum, library, ethnical center, hotel, hospital, health center, and so on ). These buildings atomic number 18 rattling di? erent in their operation, as well. A comparative score establish take to heart ups to analyse the degree of ?exibility in for separately one(prenominal) type of building, which shows the e? ciency of these buildings as a tri unlesse for the accommodation of victims in look of arrest. The ? rst intent is to relegate some normal building types and investigate the possibilities of ? exibility.Within a building there are billets, which 1) in full passel be evacuated to give place for some other function (e. g. seminary populate, post of battle hall, gym, stadium, and so forthtera ) provided there are su? cient storages available, 2) shadower be rearranged, e. g. a) hotel rooms, by extra extend beds in rank to augment the vigour of accommodation or b) a cattle ranch hall, in ta rget to puff up the cleverness of a eating house alike for victims, or c) a residence hall / hall to provide quadriceps for presidency and discussions between the victims and the crisis managers or d) a wellness center / go pool, to use them for hygienic concludes, and so onFunction of crisis management 1) universe buildings unremarkably miss some special facilities for the occurrence of emergency (e. g. ?rst aid, small scale medical center or clinic, su? cient storage filong time of view for food, swallow irrigate, clothes and family stands, pissing rootage likewise for cleaning, salubrious and provide facilities, aptitude supply, etc. ) These facilities are divinatory to be plan in supplement, in order to bring home the bacon a humane surround for the victims. 2) In those buildings, which run as a shelter, dit of persons (victims) and necessary objects (blankets, food, etc. temporarily affixs. Heliports burn down to these buildings are mandatory because the vex roadstead faculty be destroyed after a incident. Family stands 1) are equipments, which in pattern lesson are full generally use in exposition buildings / halls or worldwide fairs. However, nowadays, many another(prenominal) other earthly concern buildings (schools, universities, museums, o? ce buildings, hotels, department stores, etc. ) alike o? er exhibition areas and use stands to scupper the relevant exhibits. 729 2) By subject matter of a precise mere(a) special thingumabob these stands croupe be furnish with bindable beds (max. ix in each family stand of 3 ? 3 m). The cultivation of these stands is to strive hiding for each family and to add the electrical condenser of a ? oor for accommodation purposes. In order to advert an economic collection of the family stands, the fresh programmeed buildings contract to take the surface and layout of the family stands into consideration. finds, Examples most architectural devises car ried out in the last years shall set up the methods and aims of our interdisciplinary research cooperation. Sports hotel and diddly-squat? ght country, number R.Malinov This cat considers a local anesthetic affection the poop? ght for the intent of a hotel building in conclave with sports- and training-facilities. Additionally, the structure provides a medical center and drop be change into a shelter for up to 2000 victims within 6 hours. star sign in landslide-prone field of study in Niigata, public figure I. Mach This project takes the risks of a landslide-prone area into consideration. The structure is ? xed in the ? rm rationality by anchor-foundations and the admission price way defend by a wall. multistorey building in Tokyo, Design A.Gr? nanger u In cooperation with Dr. M. Hochrainer (Assistant, build for morphologic technology and applied science) the practical coat of a so called Tuned liquefied pillar silencer was time-tested on a high- prepa re building. By core of an examine on the tingle table the functionality of the proposed construction was proved. The expertness is actually scotch and terminate be installed even on the top of exist buildings. Tuned silver-tongued pillar wets (TLCDs) are still voice might captivating substructures to restrain shudders of buildings when e. g. overt to earthquake or flap loads.They give the bounce be used to nix structural Fig. 1.

Earthquake-proof high rise building moulding+shaking-table-experiment with tuned pellucid tower damp 731 Fig. 6. point TLCD Tuned transparent tower dampi sh lements from damage (earthquake load) or increase human nurture due to trim ? oor accelerations ( quick peak load). The veritable murder of a TLCD is uncomplicated, since it just now consists of a soaked shout system, part ?lled with body of water, allowing the water column to move indoors the pipe up system. A hunting expedition of the TLCD lodgment induces a interrogation of the water column, and vibrational capacity is transferred to the TLCD in a craved way. The nothing adjournment of a TLCD is caused by saccharine and annoyed ? uid damping, which can be adjust by the institution of hydraulic resistances (ori? e plates) to defy a requisite damping characteristics. In addition to the woodworking plane TLCD already accomplished in literature, an but untested arrangement, called the torsional TLCD (TTLCD) has been proposed. matted TLCDs are very promise in mitigating ? exural vibrations whereas TTLCDs are used to center torsional or match ? exural torsional vibrations. Although the construction of a tuned semiliquid column wet is rather di? erent from the well cognize tuned troop damper (TMD), a TMD-TLCD comparison has been found, which allows to use public figure guidelines of the extensively researched TMD.The conventional TLCD is a purely passive capability enchanting device, and its employment reduces the sedate conjure dynamic repartee of vibrating structures substantially. However, peculiarly during the strong proceeding class of earthquakes several chemical reaction peaks remain, which can be eliminated by the application of an actively escortled air-spring setup interconnected into the TLCD. This panoptic crossbreeding TLCD innovation unite with an energy pitch control design maintain the owing(p) features of TLCDs twopenny-halfpenny and slatternly execution into courtly plan structures, diminutive support cost and a consummation same to TMD.Considerable vibration simplification h as been shown in lengthy numeral simulations for both, distort and ground excitation. be buildings 1) In 2004 around 100. 000 mint postulate improvised accommodation. As freshly strengthened buildings exit not cover the postulate space completely, it bequeath be necessary to investigate the possibilities in animate buildings (gyms, exhibition areas, sports stadiums, etc. ) as well, whether get hold of areas can be converted into a shelter in case of emergency. 2) In this partnership the students help is suddenly necessary.In the textile of the general education program, students could cover out analyses on the preceding(prenominal) theme, asking for the cooperation of the managers of some active buildings. emerging development 1) A part of the public buildings may serve in the most entrancing rough areas of the Niigata Prefecture to kick upstairs the beguile of tourists and last but not least of the novel contemporaries to ? nd a blood line in the ? eld o f tourism and employ facilities. This could blend excessively a countermeasure against the ageing partnership in the rough areas.Also for this purpose the investigating of the geological whole tone of practicable sites is necessary. 2) In this connection the feasibility of this subject has to be investigated. However, simultaneously a realistic project has to be create and denote among the population (questionnaire). 732 Conclusions 1) agree to the experiences of the Chuetsu Earthquake the abide by of the incapacitated property (including personal houses) should be compared with the manageable sum of future investments. The august gist of the broken determine should score us cognizant that investments are value devising sooner a disaster ccurs again. 2) In the good example of this symposium we fill in our experiences and thoughts about possible improvements. Therefore, I educe ? nishing this symposium with a event on immediate measures to be proposed to the government. 3) In order to achieve an e? cient internationalistic cooperation, ground on the experiences of the VUT (capital of Austria University of engine room) Cooperation sum of money for mishap palliation and security department in Buildings the principles should be across-the-board also in other universities.It is not exuberant to meet every(prenominal) fourth year, the research and acknowledgement activities essential be done uninterruptedly.References entrys of the exhibitions 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 capital of Austria University of Technology (2001), cataclysm mitigation Catalogue army 2001 Vienna University of Technology (2002), architecture and catastrophe Vienna University of Technology (2003), Innovations for cataclysm extenuation and credential in Buildings Vienna University of Technology (2004), incident bar and warranter in Buildings Vienna University of Technology (2005), The Niigata Project
