Waves and Vibrations in Soils:Earthquakes, Traffic, Shocks, Construction worksJ.F. Semblat, A. Pecker

Our Products: Books > Earthquake Engineering

ISBN: 88-6198-030-3

Table of contentsObjective of the bookThe main scientific and engineering goal of this book is to dealsimultaneously with soil dynamics/vibrations and wavepropagation in soils (including seismic waves). These variousfields are generally considered separately and the important linksbetween them, both from scientific and practical points of view,are unfortunately not investigated. They are usually considered inseparate disciplines such as earthquake geotechnical engineering,civil engineering, mechanics, geophysics, seismology, numericalmodelling, etc. The objective of the book is to offer in a singl epublication an overview of soil dynamics and wave propagation insoils with emphasis on engineering applications. It starts from a

wide variety of practical problems (e.g. traffic induced vibrations,dynamic compaction, vibration isolation), then deals with 1D and2D/3D wave propagation in heterogeneous and attenuating media(with application to laboratory and in situ dynamic characterizationof soils), gives an overview of various numerical methods (e.g.FEM, BEM) to simulate wave propagation (including numericalerrors, radiation/absorbing conditions, etc) and finally investigatesseismic wave propagation and amplification in complex geologicalstructures (e.g. irregular topographies, alluvial deposits).
