Synopsis

This offers a comprehensive and insightful guide to the analysis and design of earth retaining structures, with a particular focus on their behaviour under seismic loading conditions and soil and structure interaction. It combines principles with practice, and relates the behaviour of earth retaining systems to the fundamental principles of soil mechanics and the methodologies of limit states design. The design approach is modern and rigorous. The book’s innovative and original methods for seismic analysis and application to practical engineering problems satisfy the increased need for earthquake-resistant geotechnical design. This is primarily a textbook for graduate students in civil and geotechnical engineering, and also a reference for practising engineers to update and refine their design skills, particularly in relation to seismic performance and modern design standards.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Luigi Callisto is a Professor of Geotechnical Engineering at Sapienza University of Rome, where he teaches undergraduate and Soil Mechanics and graduate Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering. As part of the Eurocode 8 Project Team he drafted the section on earth retaining structures and serves as vice-chair of the Italian mirror committee of SC8. He is presently involved in drafting a new Italian technical code for the design and maintenance of dams and is a member of the committee revising the national building code. Since 2007 he has been a consultant on the effects of excavations and tunnelling on historically significant monuments and buildings for Rome’s new Metro Line C. He also collaborates with Italferr S.p.A., the Italian railway design company, on a contract to integrate his seismic design methods for earth retaining structures into their design procedures.
