Download or read book Shear Stress Measurements in Situ of Soils Subjected to Vibratory Loads written by Rudolf Karl Bernhard and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Direct measurements of shear and normal stresses were made, the compatibility of the resulting shear stress distribution and the corresponding normal stress pattern was studied, and the experimental findings were correlated with the existing theories for biaxial systems. A miniaturized shear cell was employed and the results of measurements in situ with this shear cell are compared with those of pressure cells. Vibratory (sinusoidal) loads were generated by a mechanical oscillator on the soil surface and transmitted to both types of cells buried beneath the oscillator. A predominantly homogeneous and noncohesive soil (dry beach sand) was used, so that the theory for biaxial stress distribution could be applied as a first approximation in the analysis. The standard deviation of the experimentally obtained shear stress vectors from values computed for a biaxial system did not exceed 4.75%, and for normal stresses it did not exceed 5.22%. (Author).

Download or read book Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering written by Steven L. Kramer and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-11-29 with total page 1061 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fully updated second edition provides an introduction to geotechnical earthquake engineering for first-year graduate students in geotechnical or earthquake engineering graduate programs with a level of detail that will also be useful for more advanced students as well as researchers and practitioners. It begins with an introduction to seismology and earthquake ground motions, then presents seismic hazard analysis and performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) principles. Dynamic soil properties pertinent to earthquake engineering applications are examined, both to facilitate understanding of soil response to seismic loads and to describe their practical measurement as part of site characterization. These topics are followed by site response and its analysis and soil–structure interaction. Ground failure in the form of soil liquefaction, cyclic softening, surface fault rupture, and seismically induced landslides are also addressed, and the book closes with a chapter on soil improvement and hazard mitigation. The first edition has been widely used around the world by geotechnical engineers as well as many seismologists and structural engineers. The main text of this book and the four appendices: • Cover fundamental concepts in applied seismology, geotechnical engineering, and structural dynamics. • Contain numerous references for further reading, allowing for detailed exploration of background or more advanced material. • Present worked example problems that illustrate the application of key concepts emphasized in the text. • Include chapter summaries that emphasize the most important points. • Present concepts of performance-based earthquake engineering with an emphasis on uncertainty and the types of probabilistic analyses needed to implement PBEE in practice. • Present a broad, interdisciplinary narrative, drawing from the fields of seismology, geotechnical engineering, and structural engineering to facilitate holistic understanding of how geotechnical earthquake engineering is applied in seismic hazard and risk analyses and in seismic design.
