Synopsis

The last 15 years have seen significant advances in understanding of the behavior of soils under cyclic loading and the influence of this behavior on structures, but the knowledge has not been widely disseminated to geotechnical engineers concerned with problems of earthquake, offshore and pavement engineering, and other situations where cyclic loading is important. Coverage includes modelling, testing, foundation design of offshore gravity structures, large piles with special reference to offshore structures, pavement and rail track foundations, seismic loading, long-term settlement of structures, vibrational loading used in the construction process.

About this title

Synopsis

Situations requiring detailed knowledge of the cyclic loading of soils occur in the construction of off-shore platforms, design in seismic regions, structural design of roads and construction of railways. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the considerations involved in design and construction where cyclic loading is an important factor. The factors which ought to be considered, the soil models available and the relevant soil properties which should be measured are discussed. Written for practising geotechnical and civil engineers, consultants and designers, this book will also be of interest to advanced postgraduates and researchers in this field.
