Book excerpt: Soil dynamics is a moderately new branch of geotechnical engineering that has attracted huge attention in the past two decades or so. Voluminous research publications are the result of exhaustive investigations on the part of researchers in both academia and industry. In the seismic analysis of a structure founded on ground, the ground motion passes to the base of structure and then loads on structure. The response of the foundation system affects the response of the structure and vice versa, which is called dynamical soil-structure interaction. In the seismic resistant design of structures, we are most interested in the strength reduction factors to account for the nonlinear behavior that might be experienced by a structure subjected to an earthquake ground motion. Few researchers have recently attempted to assess the effect of SSI on the strength reduction factors, which is primarily controlled by the changes in the structural period and displacement ductility. This book investigates soil-structure-interaction effects considering nonlinearities occurring at the soil-foundation interface. Soil Dynamics and Foundation Modeling presents a comprehensive new concepts and techniques on soil dynamics and foundation modeling in offshore and earthquake engineering with both theory and realistic applications, and thoroughly links the practical approaches with engineering applications. It contains material pertaining to soil dynamics, earthquake engineering, and special design aspects of geotechnical engineering with basic dynamic properties of soils, machine foundations, dynamic and vibratory compaction, and pile driving response. It also reflects on new findings from research results based on recent case histories. This book will be of valuable for students, researchers, and practicing engineers, interested in this field.

Book Soil Dynamics and Foundation Modeling

Download or read book Soil Dynamics and Foundation Modeling written by MICHAEL MAX. BUHLER and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interaction of soil with structures built in and on the ground is an important field in geotechnical engineering. Its investigation represents a demanding task for the engineer. In the scope of two interdisciplinary research projects in cooperation with a team of international scientists, we investigated experimentally and numerically the behaviour of piles and pile foundations during strong earthquakes. For decades the evolution of soil mechanics was rather separate in statics and dynamics, in particular for the interaction of ground and structure. Even now the latter is often captured in calculations by simplifying assumptions which where never verified, more so in soil dynamics than in statics. Based on the present work this is no more necessary, this can be verified by interested readers up to details. At the end of this publication it is also shown that this new state of knowledge has certainly consequences for design and construction methods.

Book Geotechnical Engineering

Download or read book Geotechnical Engineering written by Sayed Hemeda and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses contemporary issues related to soil mechanics and foundation engineering in earthworks, which are critical components in construction projects and often require detailed management techniques and unique solutions to address failures and implement remedial measures. The geotechnical engineering community continues to improve the classical testing techniques for measuring critical properties of soils and rocks, including stress wave-based non-destructive testing methods as well as methods used to improve shallow and deep foundation design. To minimize failure during construction, contemporary issues and related data may reveal useful lessons to improve project management and minimize economic losses. This book focuses on these aspects using appropriate methods in a rather simple manner. It also touches upon many interesting topics in soil mechanics and modern geotechnical engineering practice such as geotechnical earthquake engineering, principals in foundation design, slope stability analysis, modeling in geomechanics, offshore geotechnics, and geotechnical engineering perspective in the preservation of historical buildings and archeological sites. A total of seven chapters are included in the book.
