Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering by STEVEN L.. STEWART KRAMER (JONATHAN P.),Jonathan P Stewart Pdf

This fully-updated new edition provides an introduction to geotechnical earthquake engineering to first-time readers (typically first-year graduate students) with a level of detail that will be useful to more advanced students, as well as researchers and practitioners. It covers the topic of geotechnical earthquake engineering beginning with an introduction to seismology and earthquake ground motions. It also includes hazard analysis and performance-based earthquake engineering design and dynamic soil properties. These topics are followed by site response and its analysis and soil-structure interaction. Ground failure in the form of soil liquefaction and seismically induced landslides are also addressed, and the book closes with a chapter on soil improvement and hazard mitigation. The first edition has been widely used around the world by geotechnical engineers and students, as well as practicing seismologists and structural engineers. Covers the fundamental concepts in seismology, geotechnical engineering, and structural engineering. Contains numerous references for further reading, allowing for detailed exploration of background or more advanced material Includes chapter summaries that emphasize the most important points. Presents a broad, interdisciplinary point of view, drawing from the fields of seismology and structural engineering Includes four appendices - vibratory motion, dynamics of discrete systems, wave propagation, and probability concepts.

Special Topics in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering by Mohamed A. Sakr,Atilla Ansal Pdf

Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics, as well as their interface with Engineering Seismology, Geophysics and Seismology, have all made remarkable progress over the past 15 years, mainly due to the development of instrumented large scale experimental facilities, to the increase in the quantity and quality of recorded earthquake data, to the numerous well-documented case studies from recent strong earthquakes as well as enhanced computer capabilities. One of the major factors contributing to the aforementioned progress is the increasing social need for a safe urban environment, large infrastructures and essential facilities. The main scope of our book is to provide the geotechnical engineers, geologists and seismologists, with the most recent advances and developments in the area of earthquake geotechnical engineering, seismology and soil dynamics.
