Seismic Response Analysis Methods for Site-Structure Systems - (Woodhead Publishing Civil and Structural Engineering) (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Seismic Response Analysis Methods for Site-Structure Systems provides the latest information on oil dynamics theory and other earthquake engineering fundamentals that underpin building and infrastructure design and performance in both onshore and offshore environments. Sections cover computational mechanics techniques and sophisticated formulation tools, including 1D finite element artificial boundary method, the stiffness matrix method, methods for absorbing boundary condition when solving the near-field wave propagation problems, methods for seismic wave input, the internal substructure method, integral analysis models in time domain based on the FEM, and more.

Case studies and other applied examples extend the book's interest to the practical realm to create new, or refine existing, measures to mitigate damage or prevent catastrophic losses.
