Some Advances in Soil Dynamics at IEM
The lessons in the geotechnical aspects from the recent large earthquakes and the some research advances in earthquake resistant of soil and foundation at the Institution of Engineering Mechanics (IEM) are presented. The typical behavior of the soil and foundation leading to the damages of various buildings, structures and lifeline systems during the notable earthquakes in China are illustrated, and the sand liquefaction, the soft soil settlement and the isolation effects of the liquefaction in the earthquakes are reported. The major contents on the new aseismic design code related with soil and foundation and some new research progress in soil dynamics in China are then introduced. Also the prospect for the primary tasks faced to the geotechnical engineering in the future earthquakes in China is presented in the paper.
