Seismic Ground Response Analysis - Nozomu Yoshida Gebunden

This book presents state-of-the-art information on seismic ground response analysis not only for the use of researchers but also for the practitioners. The topics covered are related to the stages of the analysis: 1. Input parameter selection by reviewing the in-situ and laboratory tests used to determine dynamic soil properties as well as the methods to compile and model the dynamic soil properties from literature 2. Input ground motion 3. Theoretical background on the equations of motion and methods for solving them 4. The mechanism of damping and how it is modeled in the equations 5. Analysis and discussion of results in detail on selected case studies which is a valuable information to the problem of seismic ground response analysis from both theoretical and practical point of view.
