This book presents state-of-the-art information on seismic ground response analysis, and is not only very valuable and useful for practitioners but also for researchers.

This volume includes all major subjects of geotechnical earthquake engineering. It describes simplified dynamic analyses that bridge the gap between the rather limited provisions of design codes and the rather eclectic methods used in sophisticated analyses.

In order to decide how badly a structure needs seismic upgrading or to prioritise it in a population of structures, a seismic evaluation is needed, which also serves as a guide for the extent and type of strengthening.

The Bled workshops have traditionally produced reference documents providing visions for the future development of earthquake engineering as foreseen by leading researchers in the field.

SYNER-G: Systemic Seismic Vulnerability and Risk Assessment of Complex Urban, Utility, Lifeline Systems and Critical Facilities

This handy reference assembles and organizes the most-needed formulas, tables, graphs and check lists into six major subfields of geo-engineering: investigations, testing, properties, hazards, structures and works. Includes 146 illustrations and 83 tables.

SYNER-G: Typology Definition and Fragility Functions for Physical Elements at Seismic Risk

Pseudo-static analysis is still the most-used method to assess the stability of geotechnical systems that are exposed to earthquake forces. In the following 3 Parts of the book the EGED for different geotechnical systems is presented as follows: the design of levees and dams including natural slopes in Part III;

This volume presents the first outcomes of the SERIES project, which pooled European seismic testing facilities, Europe's best experts in experimental earthquake engineering and experts from the USA to present research achievements and point to the future.

This book examines water in pavement. Coverage includes basic theory, where the water comes from, how it may (or may not) be drained, the effect of temperature on the movement, and the impact that water content has on pavement material and subgrade behavior.

Earthquakes and tsunamis cannot be prevented, but measures can be taken to minimize their damage. In this book, eleven experts from various areas of civil engineering detail recent progress in disaster mitigation regarding these two natural phenomena.

This book examines water in pavement. Coverage includes basic theory, where the water comes from, how it may (or may not) be drained, the effect of temperature on the movement, and the impact that water content has on pavement material and subgrade behavior.

Structural irregularities are one of the most frequent causes of severe damages in buildings, as evidenced by the numerous earthquakes in recent years.

This book focuses on the use of inelastic analysis methods for the seismic assessment and design of bridges. It includes detailed case-studies of bridge assessment, which helps engineers to select the method that best suits each individual project.

This book reports on important advances and developments over the past 15 years in earthquake geotechnical engineering, seismology and soil dynamics, benefiting a broad audience of geotechnical engineers, geologists and seismologists.

This book offers a broad perspective on important topics in earthquake geotechnical engineering and gives specialists and those that are involved with research and application a more comprehensive understanding about the various topics.

The objective of this practical book is to fill some of the gaps in the existing engineering codes and standards related to soil dynamics, concerning issues in earthquake engineering and ground vibrations, by using formulas and hand calculators.

This book is part of a bold, new initiative towards global sustainability and development that draws on the disciplines of geotechnical engineering and earthquake geotechnics.

Performance-based Earthquake Engineering has emerged before the turn of the century as the most important development in the field of Earthquake Engineering during the last three decades.

Points out the need of a multidisciplinary approach in the field of risk assessment and management. This title provides an overview of the problems, approaches and common practices directly related to earthquake risk mitigation and, in particular, to the preparation of earthquake emergency plans.

This volume includes all major subjects of geotechnical earthquake engineering. It describes simplified dynamic analyses that bridge the gap between the rather limited provisions of design codes and the rather eclectic methods used in sophisticated analyses.
