Opis

Performance-Based Design (PBD) is increasingly applied in designing buildings and infrastructural facilities, although it has not yet been established sufficiently in geotechnical engineering practice. A rapid development and establishment of practical and reliable PBD is needed not only for foundation design but also for superstructures resting on incompetent soils. Numerical analyses incorporating seismic motions and strong soil nonlinearity are already in practice. However, for the selection of appropriate input parameters and examination of the reliability of analytical results a benchmark is required, which includes relevant case histories with well-documented geotechnical and seismic conditions.

EARTHQUAKE GEOTECHNICAL CASE HISTORIES FOR PERFORMANCE-BASED DESIGN is a collection of 26 case histories, each study containing well-instrumented geotechnical and earthquake data. The book is intended to serve as a reference
work, since it contains a common scale to develop and implement design methodologies and numerical analyses, so that their reliability can be evaluated.

It covers the latest research in this field, including:
1) dynamic ground response during strong earthquakes
2) post earthquake residual deformations or flow type failures of slopes/earth-structures
3) soil-foundation interactions in dynamic response or in lateral spreading of ground.

Each case history consists of site characterization, earthquake motions and descriptions of failure as quantitative as possible. Wherever available, digital data on earthquake records and other information associated with individual cases are supplied in the attached CD-ROM as text files EARTHQUAKE GEOTECHNICAL CASE HISTORIES FOR PERFORMANCE-BASED DESIGN will be invaluable to researchers in earthquake geotechnical engineering, practicing geotechnical engineers, as well as engineers and researchers interested in numerical analysis.
