Title: Soil Dynamics & Geotechnical Earthquake
Description: Earthquakes are one of nature's greatest hazards to life on our planet. By increasing the knowledge on this subject the damages and personal injuries can be minimized.

The present volume contains the lectures delivered at the Seminar by well known experts in these fields. The topics covered are: Dynamic properties of soils and gravels from laboratory tests; Centrifuge tests - A dynamic approach; Nonlinear dynamic response analyses of soil and soil-structure interacting systems; Evaluation of liquefaction potential; Dynamic analysis of embankment dams; Dynamic soil improvement methods; Dynamic pile-soil pile interactions; Seismic design and analysis of retaining walls; The damage distribution in March 13, 1992 Erzincan earthquake and the effects of geotechnical factors; and Seismic instrumentation and monitoring of geotechnical structures.
Subjects: Earthquake engineering, Soil dynamics, Congresses
