Summary
  • Earthquakes are one of nature's greatest hazards to life on our planet. By increasing the knowledge on this subject the damages and personal injuries can be minimized.
  • The present volume contains the lectures delivered at the Seminar by well known experts in these fields. The topics covered are: Dynamic properties of soils and gravels from laboratory tests; Centrifuge tests - A dynamic approach; Nonlinear dynamic response analyses of soil and soil-structure interacting systems; Evaluation of liquefaction potential; Dynamic analysis of embankment dams; Dynamic soil improvement methods; Dynamic pile-soil pile interactions; Seismic design and analysis of retaining walls; The damage distribution in March 13, 1992 Erzincan earthquake and the effects of geotechnical factors; and Seismic instrumentation and monitoring of geotechnical structures.
