A propos de cet article

Paperback. Follow the seismic problem from earthquake source and shaking characteristics through site response, earth failure, structural demand and engineering consequences. This handbook organizes geotechnical earthquake engineering around physical mechanisms, field evidence, uncertainty, performance objectives and defensible decisions rather than isolated formulas.The opening chapters connect seismology, tectonics, rupture, magnitude, recurrence, wave propagation, hazard, exposure, vulnerability and risk. Readers learn how deterministic and probabilistic approaches, response spectra, recorded accelerograms, scaling, duration, directivity, near-source effects and uncertainty influence the seismic basis of a project.The book emphasizes that a precise calculation is not the same as a certain prediction. Assumptions, data quality, model limitations and sensitivity must remain visible throughout the evaluation.Site-investigation chapters cover geologic setting, subsurface exploration, sampling, in-situ testing, laboratory testing, groundwater conditions, shear-wave velocity and investigation planning. Dynamic properties, modulus reduction, damping and cyclic behavior are connected to the decisions they are intended to support.Site-response coverage moves from simplified concepts to layered profiles, amplification, deamplification, nonlinear response, model selection, input selection, sensitivity studies and quality checks. Readers learn when a screening method is appropriate and when project-specific analysis is required.Ground-failure chapters address triggering evaluation, cyclic resistance, density and fines effects, pore-pressure generation, post-shaking settlement, lateral spreading, flow failure, bearing-capacity loss, seismic slope stability, permanent displacement and fault-related deformation. Worked examples make assumptions, calculation stages and limitations visible.Design chapters connect seismic demand with shallow and deep foundation systems, retaining structures, embankments, buried infrastructure, waterfront facilities, dams, levees, transitions and soil-structure interaction. The emphasis remains on how deformation, stiffness, strength loss and compatibility influence performance.Ground-improvement coverage explains densification, drainage, reinforcement, replacement, grouting and deep mixing. Alternatives are compared according to the governing mechanism, construction access, verification requirements, environmental constraints, residual risk and intended performance.Integrated cases show how changes in hazard assumptions, groundwater, profile interpretation, material properties or performance targets propagate through the final recommendation. Practice problems, calculation controls and project checklists reinforce disciplined analysis.Readers will learn how to: Connect seismic sources, hazard and site responsePlan investigations around project-specific decisionsSelect and evaluate dynamic material propertiesAssess cyclic resistance, settlement and lateral spreadingEstimate slope deformation and stabilityEvaluate shallow, deep and retaining systemsCompare improvement methods and verification plansCommunicate uncertainty, assumptions and residual risk clearlyWritten for senior students, practicing engineers, reviewers and independent learners, this reference supports study, preliminary evaluation and professional review. Safety-critical projects require current codes, local hazard requirements, verified subsurface information, independent checking and qualified professional responsibility.
