The latest methods for designing seismically sound structures
Fully updated for the 2012 International Building Code, Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering Handbook, Second Edition discusses basic earthquake principles, common earthquake effects, and typical structural damage caused by seismic shaking.
Earthquake computations for conditions commonly encountered by design engineers, such as liquefaction, settlement, bearing capacity, and slope stability, are included. Site improvement methods that can be used to mitigate the effects of earthquakes on structures are also described in this practical, comprehensive guide.
Coverage includes:
Basic earthquake principles
Common earthquake effects
Earthquake structural damage
Site investigation for geotechnical earthquake engineering
Liquefaction
Earthquake-induced settlement
Bearing capacity analyses for earthquakes
Slope stability analyses for earthquakes
Retaining wall analyses for earthquakes
Other geotechnical earthquake engineering analyses
Grading and other soil improvement methods
Foundation alternatives to mitigate earthquake effects
Earthquake provisions in building codes
Robert W. Day (San Diego, CA) has published over 200 papers, as is currently active on various committees with ASCE, ASTM, Tranportation Research Board, and received a design award from AIA. After completing his Bachelors and Masters degrees in Civil Engineering at Villanova specializing in Structural Engineering, he completed his masters in Civil Engineering and Engineer Degree at MIT.
