Siting in Earthquake Zones
Focusing on fundamental concepts, definitions various aspects of siting, this book contains a detailed checklist to help readers conduct a proper siting process to assess the seismic hazards of a given site. The required site investigation techniques are described in detail.
Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering VII
This volume contains new and advanced ideas in soil dynamics and earthquake engineering in theory and practice, and also covers the excitation and propagation of dynamic waves in the ground, determination of dynamic properties of soils and rocks, and behaviour of structures under dynamic loading. The combined efforts of geophysics, soil, rock and structural dynamics research has aided the reduction of risks to people and structures in civil and mining engineering.
Geological Engineering
A thorough knowledge of geology is essential in the design and construction of infrastructures for transport, buildings and mining operations; while an understanding of geology is also crucial for those working in urban, territorial and environmental planning and in the prevention and mitigation of geohazards.Geological Engineering provides an inte
Volcanic Rock Mechanics
Volcanic Rock Mechanics includes papers and special lectures of the 3rd International Workshop on Volcanic Rocks, Rock Mechanics and Geo-Engineering in Volcanic Environments, which was held within the framework of the Congress Cities on Volcanoes6-Tenerife 2010 (Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, Spain, 31 May 4 June 2010). The book is a comprehensiv
Analysis and Design of Retaining Structures Against Earthquakes
GSP 60 contains eight papers on retaining structures to withstand earthquakes presented at sessions of the ASCE National Convention, held in Washington, D.C., November 10-14, 1996.
Natural and Anthropogenic Hazards in Development Planning
This book covers the early stages of development planning in relation to the inevitable occurrence of natural hazards & their damaging affects. Events such as earthquakes, volcanoes, & wildfires can be devastating to the developments in their proximity. This book addresses the importance of planning for both natural & anthropogenic hazards & brings into focus the technical, scientific, economic, political, & social links that should be considered in the earliest stages of development planning. The topic is considered from a financial viewpoint to help economists, lenders, & planners understand the value of initial investment against hazard impact. This prevention by initial investment can result in a better economic yield for investors & a better quality of life for people who work & service projects--thus assuring continuous productivity.
