Soil Behaviour in Earthquake Geotechnics
Why Soil Behaviour in Earthquake Geotechnics ? This
highly topical book, written by a leading Japanese author, provides a
comprehensive study of current research in soil dynamics for earthquake
engineering. The behaviour of the ground on which structures are built
during earthquake conditions is crucial to understanding the behaviour
of those structures. This well-illustrated text summarizes current
knowledge of the subject, presenting material accumulated by Japanese
and other researchers over recent years. It comprehensively covers
theory, laboratory tests, and field work. It also includes helpful
guidelines for civil engineers undertaking groundwork to protect
structures in potential earthquake zones
