DYNAMICS OF STRUCTURE AND FOUNDATION - VOL. 1 - FUNDAMENTALS

Designed to provide engineers with quick access to current and practical information on the dynamics between structure and foundation, this unique work serves a complete reference, especially for those involved with earthquake or dynamic analysis, or the design of machine foundations in the oil, gas, and energy sector. The text includes various insights and theories explained by those who have developed them. It covers the computation of Rayleigh damping for structures with a large number of degrees of freedom and at the dynamic analysis of Hammer foundations considering non-classical soil damping. It also looks at geotechnical considerations in relation to dynamic soil-structure interaction. The work is supported by a number of case studies as well as over 700 illustrations.
