Innovative Earthquake Soil Dynamics deals with soil dynamics in
earthquake engineering and includes almost all aspects of soil
behavior. Both generally accepted basic knowledge as well as
advanced and innovative views are accommodated. Major topics are
(i) seismic site amplification, (ii) liquefaction and (iii)
earthquake-induced slope failure. Associated with the above, basic
theories and knowledge on wave propagation/attenuation, soil
properties, laboratory tests, numerical analyses, and model tests
are addressed in the first part of the book. A great number of
earthquake observations in surface soil deposits as well as case
histories with new findings are addressed in the later chapters,
together with associated laboratory test data. Most of the research
results originate from Japan, which is rich in earthquake records
and case histories, although mostly isolated from the outside world
because of the language barrier. Another important feature
characterizing this book is an energy perspective in addition to
the force-equilibrium perspective, because it is the author's
strong belief that energy is a very relevant index in determining
seismic failures, particularly of soils and soil structures.
Innovative Earthquake Soil Dynamics is written for international
readers, graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers,
interested in this field.
