Opis

Despite long lasting efforts, Performance Based Design (PBD) has not yet been established sufficiently in geotechnical engineering practice. A rapid development in practical and reliable PBD is needed not only for foundation design but also for superstructures resting on incompetent soils, particularly under circumstances where seismic ground motions observed during recent destructive earthquakes are getting larger. Such large motions often lead to intolerable results of foundation ground and superstructures resting on it, if they are designed by the conventional methodologies. Thus, it is urgent to reconsider how to design new buildings and new civil engineering structures, and, in addition, how to retrofit existing structures from the viewpoint of their performance under increasing seismic loads.

Performance-based Design in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering presents current developments in PBD in earthquake geotechnical engineering, including various case histories, numerical methods, soil investigations and engineering practice. Special attention is paid to the 2008 Wenchuan Sichuan earthquake in China, performance evaluations, the role of soil investigations, criteria/design codes, and the performance and future perspectives of PBD.

Performance-based Design in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering is particularly of interest to researchers in earthquake geotechnical engineering, and practicing geotechnical and structural engineers.
