From Case History to Practice
Edited by Takaji Kokusho, Yoshimichi Tsukamoto, Mitsutoshi Yoshimine
* ISBN: 978-0-415-55614-9
* Binding: Hardback
* Published by: CRC Press
* Publication Date: 24th September 2009
* Pages: 388
This book presents current developments in performance-based design (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. The information in this book will be of particular interest to researchers in earthquake geotechnical engineering, and practicing geotechnical and structural engineers.
