This book was released on 2008-09-19 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ... "Included on the Choice list with the outstanding academic Earth Sciences titles 2008" ... This volume describes simplified dynamic analyses that bridge the gap between the rather limited provisions of design codes and the rather eclectic methods used in sophisticated analyses. Graphs and spreadsheets are included for the ease and speed of use of simplified analyses of: soil slope (in)stability and displacements caused by earthquakes, sand liquefaction and flow caused by earthquakes, dynamic soil-foundation interaction, bearing capacity and additional settlement of shallow foundations, earthquake motion effects on tunnels and shafts, frequent liquefaction potential mitigation measures. A number of comments on the assumptions used in different methods, limitation and factors affecting the results are given. Several case histories are also included in the appendices in order to assess the accuracy and usefulness of the simplified methods. Audience This work is of interest to geotechnical engineers, engineering geologists, earthquake engineers and students.

Download or read book Design and Evaluation of a Device for Determining the One dimensional Compression Characteristics of Soils Subjected to Impulse type Loads written by Larry Schindler and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A general-purpose test facility for determining the one-dimensional compression characteristics of soils subjected to impulse-type loads has been developed in order to help satisfy the ever-increasing demand for reliable soil-property data required in support of a wide variety of nuclear-weapons-effects-related problems. The design, fabrication, installation, and evaluation of the various elements which together comprise the test facility were accomplished. The various considerations involved in the design and evaluation of the newly developed test facility are discussed in detail, thus providing some insight into the types of factors which affect the experimental-accuracy capability of a one-dimensional compression test facility and thereby the reliability of the data obtained under any particular set of conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the subject of wave propagation in solids has a long history, the classical theory of elastic waves having been developed in the nine teenth century by STOKES, POISSON, RAYLEIGH and KELVIN, the last two decades have seen a remarkable revival of interest in this subject among both theoreticians and experimenters. There' are a number of reasons for this; first, experimental methods for the generation and detection of high frequency mechanical waves have become available only with the advent of electronic techniques and of high speed photo graphic recording apparatus. Secondly, the appearan

Download or read book Wave Fields in Real Media written by José M. Carcione and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-12-08 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authored by the internationally renowned José M. Carcione, Wave Fields in Real Media: Wave Propagation in Anisotropic, Anelastic, Porous and Electromagnetic Media examines the differences between an ideal and a real description of wave propagation, starting with the introduction of relevant stress-strain relations. The combination of this relation and the equations of momentum conservation lead to the equation of motion. The differential formulation is written in terms of memory variables, and Biot's theory is used to describe wave propagation in porous media. For each rheology, a plane-wave analysis is performed in order to understand the physics of wave propagation. This book contains a review of the main direct numerical methods for solving the equation of motion in the time and space domains. The emphasis is on geophysical applications for seismic exploration, but researchers in the fields of earthquake seismology, rock acoustics, and material science - including many branches of acoustics of fluids and solids - may also find this text useful. New to this edition: This new edition presents the fundamentals of wave propagation in Anisotropic, Anelastic, Porous Media while also incorporating the latest research from the past 7 years, including that of the author. The author presents all the equations and concepts necessary to understand the physics of wave propagation. These equations form the basis for modeling and inversion of seismic and electromagnetic data. Additionally, demonstrations are given, so the book can be used to teach post-graduate courses. Addition of new and revised content is approximately 30%. Examines the fundamentals of wave propagation in anisotropic, anelastic and porous media Presents all equations and concepts necessary to understand the physics of wave propagation, with examples Emphasizes geophysics, particularly, seismic exploration for hydrocarbon reservoirs, which is essential for exploration and production of oil

Download or read book Procedures for Prediction of Ground Shock Phenomena Based on One dimensional Shock Propagation Considerations written by James V. Zaccor and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report describes a definitive experimental study in which shock-induced square-wave pulses in soil were observed to give way to decaying pulse shapes, as in a gas shock tube, and rapid attenuation of peak stress occurred thereafter due to nonlinear propagation in the rarefaction. In the study three different duration pulses were applied to an 8-ft vertical column of granular material confined under boundary conditions leading to a stress-strain (Sigma - Epsilon) behavior described by d to the 2nd power Sigma/d Epsilon to the 2nd power> 0, i.e., a strain-hardening type of response. Applied stresses ranged from 50 to 500 psi. The report describes a simple modification to be applied to the prediction procedure described in the first report of this series in order to take into account, to a first approximation, the nonlinear propagation of unloading waves that occurs in real media because of nonlinear stress-strain behavior in the unloading branch. The procedure which predicts stress and motion histories based on the conservation laws, a measured constitutive relationship, and the applied pressure-time profile, is demonstrated by predicting the entire sequence of an experimentally observed square-wave pulse transformation into a decaying pulse.
