Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering

A comprehensive guide to the specialized field of geotechnical earthquake engineering. It bridges the gap between seismology and civil engineering by examining how different soil and rock conditions influence structural damage during seismic events. The content explores foundational topics such as seismic wave propagation, specifically p-waves and s-waves, and their movement through the Earth's internal structure. To enhance learning, the author utilizes ground motion data from the Loma Prieta earthquake and provides worked examples using both metric and British units. Designed for students and professionals, the book addresses critical safety concerns like liquefaction, slope stability, and the seismic design of retaining structures.
