Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering

Description

Earthquake engineering is the study of the behaviour of buildings and structures subject to seismic loading. It is a subset of both structural and geotechnical engineering. Geotechnical earthquake engineering is a branch of geotechnical engineering that deals with the effects of earthquakes on soils and earth structures, and the design of foundations and earth structures to resist earthquakes. This book covers the fundamentals of geotechnical earthquake engineering, including earthquake hazard analysis, site response analysis, liquefaction, slope stability, and the design of foundations and earth retaining structures. It is an excellent resource for students and professionals in the fields of civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, and earthquake engineering.
