Book Description
The majority of the cases of earthquake damage to buildings, bridges, and other retaining structures are influenced by soil and ground conditions. To address such phenomena, Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering is the appropriate discipline. This textbook presents the fundamentals of Soil Dynamics, combined with the basic principles, theories and methods of Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering. It is designed for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students in Civil Engineering & Architecture. The text will also be useful to young faculty members, practising engineers and consultants. Besides, teachers will find it a useful reference for preparation of lectures and for designing short courses in Soil Dynamics and Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering. The book first presents the theory of vibrations and dynamics of elastic system as well as the fundamentals of engineering seismology. With this background, the readers are introduced to the characteristics of Strong Ground Motion, and Deterministic and Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. The risk analysis and the reliability process of geotechnical engineering are presented in detail. An in-depth study of dynamic soil properties and the methods of their determination provide the basics to tackle the dynamic soil–structure interaction problems. Practical problems of dynamics of beam–foundation systems, dynamics of retaining walls, dynamic earth pressure theory, wave propagation and liquefaction of soil are treated in detail with illustrative examples.

Book Description
Despite advances in the field of geotechnical earthquake engineering, earthquakes continue to cause loss of life and property in one part of the world or another. The Third International Conference on Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey, USA, 22nd to 24th June 1987, provided an opportunity for participants from all over the world to share their expertise to enhance the role of mechanics and other disciplines as they relate to earthquake engineering. The edited proceedings of the conference are published in four volumes. This volume covers: Constitutive Relations in Soil Dynamics, Liquefaction of Soils, and Experimental Soil Dynamics. With its companion volumes, it is hoped that it will contribute to the further development of techniques, methods and innovative approaches in soil dynamics and earthquake engineering.

Book Description
Various aspects of geotechnical earthquake engineering and soil dynamics are highlighted in this all-inclusive book. The current progress in the field of earthquake engineering has been discussed with primary focus on the seismic safety of dams and underground monuments, Bryan's effect, and the mitigation plans against landslide and fire whirlwind. The book discusses various interesting researches that have been contributed by researchers and experts from many countries. The researches presented in this book will be helpful for graduates, researchers and scientists working in these areas of structural and earthquake engineering. It will also be of significance to civil engineers working on building and reconstruction of structures such as dams, buildings, roads and others.

Book Description
Annotation Edited versions of some of the papers presented at the Sixth International Conference on Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering held in Bath, UK in June 1993. The volume includes new and advanced ideas in soil dynamics and earthquake engineering theory and practice, and covers the excitation and propagation of dynamic waves in the ground, the determination of dynamic properties of soil and rocks, and the behavior of structures under dynamic loads. The work is aimed at a better understanding of dynamical ground-structure interaction and at enhancing the combined efforts of geophysics, soil, rock, and structural dynamics in the reduction of risks to people and structures in civil and mining engineering. A special section of the volume presents papers on the Hagia Sophia in Turkey. No subject index. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
