| Design of Foundations in Seismic Areas: Principles and Applications |
Design of Foundations in Seismic Areas: Principles and Applications
comprises the proceedings of an international workshop on Earthquake
Geotechnical Engineering. It addresses the major principles of foundation
design in seismic areas. Some practical examples have been worked out. The
topics covered are seismic hazards and their assessment, liquefaction and its
remediation, site response analysis, piled foundation and pile failure. Some
advanced topics are also covered. An appendix is also added which collates
the useful charts, graphs and tables often being referred by professionals.
This publication covers papers written by leading academicians and industry
practitioners. |
