EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN. PROCEEDINGS OF AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE, BERLIN, 13-16 JUNE 1989

This volume covers the latest developments of research and engineering practice activities in geotechnical earthquake engineering & structural dynamics. The first section is on seismology, amplification site dependent ground response, wave propagation design characteristics and microzonation. The second is on linear and non-linear soil-structure-interaction problems with boundary or finite elements, consistent lumped-parameter model, seismic and vibration isolation and dynamic soil properties. The third section is on seismic design of retaining walls, earthquake resistance of embedded structures, tunnels and pipelines, bridges, tanks, pile groups and dams in seismic regions. The final section covers the seismic damage assessment of buildings, torsional responses of structures, earthquake testing methods and a general presentation of the Eurocode eight.
