Design of Earthquake Resistant Foundations

By Michael John Pender

Book Overview

This volume provides tools intended to assist in the design of earthquake-resistant foundations. Putting the right materials together has been challenging, as the target keeps moving because the subject area is developing so rapidly and there is a wealth of new information that has emerged following recent major earthquakes. The book advances an integrated design of structure foundation systems. Nonlinear behavior of the soil beneath the foundation may enhance the performance of structure foundation systems during the earthquake.
