The Behavior of Sands Under Seismic Loading Conditions by Marshall L. Silver,Harry Bolton Seed Pdf

The volume change characteristics and the dynamic stress-strain properties of dry sand subjected to cyclic shear strains have been investigated and used to check the applicability of a simple method for predicting the vertical settlements due to compaction in layers of dry cohesionless soils subjected to seismic loading conditions. Dynamic testing of a medium quartz sand, performed by repeated load simple shear equipment, indicated that the shear modulus increased slightly with increasing numbers of cycles and with increasing relative density and decreases significantly with increasing values of shear strain amplitude. Modulus values determined near the upper limit of shear strain amplitude that might be expected to be induced by seismic shaking (0.1 percent) were as much as 40 percent lower than modulus values obtained at the lowest values of shear strain that were investigated (0.01 percent).

Seismic Risk and Engineering Decisions by Cinna Lomnitz Pdf

Seismic Risk and Engineering Decisions attempts to bridge the gap in decision making between earthquake characteristics and structural behavior. The book begins by providing the background on earthquake generation and characteristics. It reviews the present state of matters in seismicity assessment and treats uncertainties explicitly. The impact of earthquakes on large bodies of water and structures is also discussed. These discussions set the stage for the final part of the book, which deals with the principles and implications of seismic design decision analysis. The book also delves into the selection of instruments for seismological research and engineering applications, with emphasis on widely used conventional seismological equipment. This book is intended to help experienced consulting engineers in assessing seismic risk and making rational decisions when locating and designing important engineering works and when drafting building codes and land use regulations. It will also provide advanced students of engineering with bases for benefiting from his future experience.

Crater Stability Under the Influence of Large Seismic Motions by T. J. Shackelford Pdf

The ort is an empirical study of the effects of large seismic motions on crater slopes. Data were obtained from measurements of the effects of the seismic motions generated by the Handley Event on the Cabriolet and Schooner craters. Accelerometers recorded the ground motions; aerial photographs and ground surveys documented the permanent ground displacements. The Handley Event was detonated on Pahute Mesa at the Nevada Test Site approximately 10,000 ft from the Cabriolet crater and 18,000 ft from the Schooner crater. The slopes at Cabriolet were subjected to the estimated peak radial (horizontal) acceleration of 0.74 g; the slopes at Schooner, to 0.36 g. Material displacements at Cabriolet and Schooner craters were confined to the loose surface material and individual boulders. (Author).
