    Waves and Vibrations in Soils:


    Earthquakes, Traffic, Shocks, Construction works
    J.F. Semblat, A. Pecker
    I nostri prodotti: Books > Earthquake Engineering

    ISBN: 88-6198-030-3
    Table of contents
    Objective of the book
    The main scientific and engineering goal of this book is to deal simultaneously with
    soil dynamics/vibrations and wave propagation in soils (including seismic waves).
    These various fields are generally considered separately and the important links
    between them, both from scientific and practical points of view, are unfortunately not
    investigated. They are usually considered in separate disciplines such as
    earthquake geotechnical engineering, civil engineering, mechanics, geophysics,
    seismology, numerical modelling, etc. The objective of the book is to offer in a single
    publication an overview of soil dynamics and wave propagation in soils 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 and 2D/3D wave propagation in heterogeneous and attenuating
    media (with application to laboratory and in situ dynamic characterization of soils),
    gives an overview of various numerical methods (e.g. FEM, BEM) to simulate wave
    propagation (including numerical errors, radiation/absorbing conditions, etc) and
    finally investigates seismic wave propagation and amplification in complex
    geological structures (e.g. irregular topographies, alluvial deposits). Maggiori
