Dynamics of Structure and Foundation - A Unified Approach

Focuses on applications in various civil engineering problems, related to dynamic soil-structure interaction, machine foundation and earthquake engineering. This book presents solutions to various problems and difficulties that design engineers encounter. It examines geotechnical considerations with regard to dynamic soil-structure interaction.

Designed to provide engineers with quick access to current and practical information on the dynamics of structure and foundation, this 2-volume reference work is intended for engineers involved with earthquake or dynamic analysis, or the design of machine foundations in the oil, gas, and energy sector. Whereas Volume 1 (ISBN 9780415471459) deals with theory and fundamentals, this volume is concentrated on three major application areas: dynamic soil-structure interaction (DSSI), the analysis and design of machine foundations, and on the analytical and design concepts for earthquake engineering. It presents innovative, easy-to-apply and practical solutions to various problems and difficulties a design engineer will encounter. It allows quick access to targeted information; it includes a wealth of case studies and also examines geotechnical considerations with regard to dynamic soil-structure interaction.
