About the Book

This book contains the edited versions of a selection of the papers presented at the Sixth International Conference on Soil Dynamics & Earthquake Engineering held in Bath in June 1993. This volume includes new and advanced ideas in soil dynamics and earthquake engineering theory and practice and covers the excitation and propagation of dynamic waves in the ground, the determination of dynamic properties of soils and rock, and the behaviour of structures under dynamic loads. The work is intended to create a better understanding of dynamical ground-structure-interaction and at enhancing the combined efforts of geophysics, soil, rock and structural dynamics in the reduction of risks to people and structures in civil and mining engineering. Papers on Hagia Sophia in Istanbul in Turkey are presented in a special section of the book. This part has been arranged in conjunction with the organisers of the International Conference on Structural Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Historical Buildings also held in Bath in June 1993. The section consists of a series of papers on various studies of this fascinating and important basilica. This book will be of particular interest to civil & mechanical engineers concerned with recent developments in computational mechanics and geomechanics.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 Engineering Seismology, Earthquake Hazards: Effects of ridge-like surface topography on seismic site response. Seismic refraction survey for continuously nonhomogeneous soils. Part 2 Ground Motions: Mechanisms of slope failure during strong ground motion in southern Italy - some historical evidence. Site response at Treasure Island. Part 3 Wave Propagation: Study of the response of cylindrical alluvial valleys of arbitrary cross-section to obliquely incident seismic waves using the discrete wavenumber boundary element method. A study on propagation characteristics of surface wave on sedimentary layers based on earthquake observations. Part 4 Dynamic Soils Properties: Particle packing of granular soils as affected by vibration. The stable state in cyclic loading. Part 5 Liquefaction: Liquefaction and dynamic properties of gravelly soils. Liquefaction of dilating granular soils. Part 6 Dynamic Response of Dams and Earth Structures: The preparation of an engineering guide to seismic risk to dams. Response of long gravity dams to incoherent seismic ground motions. Part 7 Soil Structure Interaction, Foundations, Piles: Seismic isolation - antifriction approach. Effects of soil-structure interaction on the seismic response of cable-supported bridges. Part 8 Earthquake Engineering of Structures: Inelastic torsional behaviour of structures designed to EC8. Probabilistic inelastic strength demand spectra for seismic design of structures. Part 9 Special Session on Hagia Sophia: Modelling and simulating earthquake accelerograms using strong motion data from the Istanbul, Turkey region. Materials analysis of the masonry of the Hagia Sophia Basilica, Istanbul.
