This book presents a comprehensive coverage of the two interrelated and interdisciplinary fields of seismic microzonation and earthquake geotechnical engineering. The introduction and the first chapter by two prominent researchers in the field of earthquake geotechnical engineering are setting the stage for the main theme of the book. The second chapter gives a general overview of the methods for estimating earthquake impact in large urban areas and the importance of the scale in zonation studies. The six following chapters are dealing with the main topics of strong ground motion, site characterization, site effects, liquefaction, and seismic microzonation. The last three chapters are concerned with geotechnical earthquake engineering, with special emphasis on solid waste landfills and lining systems, and earthquake resistant design of shallow and deep foundation subjected to earthquakes.

Book Description:
This new text, intended for the senior undergraduate finite element course in mechanical, civil and aerospace engineering departments, gives students a solid, practical understanding of the principles of the finite element method within a variety of engineering applications.
Hutton discusses basic theory of the finite element method while avoiding variational calculus, instead focusing upon the engineering mechanics and mathematical background that may be expected of senior engineering students. The text relies upon basic equilibrium principles, introduction of the principle of minimum potential energy, and the Galerkin finite element method, which readily allows application of finite element analysis to nonstructural problems.
The text is software-independent, making it flexible enough for use in a wide variety of programs, and offers a good selection of homework problems and examples.
A Book Website is also included, with book illustrations for class presentation; complete problem solutions (password protected); the FEPC 2-D finite element program for student use; instructions on FEPC and its use with the text; and links to commercial FEA sites.

Book Description:
This highly topical book, written by a leading Japanese author, provides a comprehensive study of current research in soil dynamics for earthquake engineering. The behaviour of the ground on which structures are built during earthquake conditions is crucial to understanding the behaviour of those structures. This well-illustrated text summarizes current knowledge of the subject, presenting material accumulated by Japanese and other researchers over recent years. It comprehensively covers theory, laboratory tests, and field work. It also includes helpful guidelines for civil engineers undertaking groundwork to protect structures in potential earthquake zones.

This well-established and internationally recognized reference is an essential handbook for geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists responsible for designing and constructing piled foundations for building and civil engineering structures. Michael Tomlinson and John Woodward explain the general principles and practice of piling and give a detailed review of the types of pile, piling equipment and methods which are currently used.This also provides students with more comprehensive information on the subject than is generally available in a civil engineering degree course. Chapters on pile design include calculating the resistance of piles to compressive loads, pile groups under compressive loading, piled foundations for resisting uplift and lateral loading and the structural design of piles and pile groups. Piling for marine structures, miscellaneous piling problems (including machinery foundations, underpinning, mining subsidence areas, piling contracts and frozen ground), durability of piled foundations, ground investigations, piling contracts and pile testing are also covered.The fifth edition of this well-established book introduces the 2005 version of Eurocode7, Geotechnical Design, and covers other relevant Eurocodes. It also covers BS 8004 and refers to BS 6349 on maritime structures, and new forms of civil engineering contracts suitable for piling projects are discussed. Highly illustrated, this book includes numerous worked examples to the codes, many of which are based on actual problems encountered.

State-of-the-art coverage of modern computational methods for the analysis and design of beams
Analysis and Design of Elastic Beams presents computer models and applications related to thin-walled beams such as those used in mechanical and aerospace designs, where thin, lightweight structures with high strength are needed. This book will enable readers to compute the cross-sectional properties of individual beams with arbitrary cross-sectional shapes, to apply a general-purpose computer analysis of a complete structure to determine the forces and moments in the individual members, and to use a unified approach for calculating the normal and shear stresses, as well as deflections, for those members' cross sections.
In addition, this book augments a solid foundation in the basic structural design theory of beams by:
* Providing coverage of thin-wall structure analysis and optimization techniques
* Applying computer numerical methods to classical design methods
* Developing computational solutions for cross-sectional properties and stresses using finite element analyses
Including access to an associated Web site with software for the analysis and design of any cross-sectional shape, Analysis and Design of Elastic Beams: Computational Methods is an essential reference for mechanical, aerospace, and civil engineers and designers working in the automotive, ship, and aerospace industries in product and process design, machine design, structural design, and design optimization, as well as students and researchers in these areas.
