DESCRIPTION:

With easy-to-understand explanations of the basic concepts, Seismic Design of Foundations examines recent and worldwide research outputs and post-earthquake reconnaissance case studies and offers practical means of applying them to the real world. Each case study also provides worked examples of new and innovative findings that reveal background information behind the codes of practice in various parts of the world as well as the lessons learned from recent large-scale earthquakes.

Seismic Design of Foundations presents state-of-the-art information which will be ideal for any student studying postgraduate civil engineering or structural engineering as well as researchers working in the field of seismic design.

This book aims to

• assimilate latest state-of-the-art research from Europe, Japan and New Zealand
• break down and explain the codes of practice into easy-to-understand concepts
• showcases worked examples at the end of each chapter highlighting the concepts covered
• includes case studies from all over the world including Italy, Greece, India and Taiwan amongst others.

Seismic Design of Foundations presents state-of-the-art information which will be ideal for any student studying postgraduate civil engineering or structural engineering as well as researchers working in the field of seismic design.
