Despite advances in the field of geotechnical earthquake engineering, earthquakes continue to cause loss of life and property in one part of the world or another. The Third International Conference on Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, Princeton University, Princeton, New…

Textbook for courses on dynamics of structures, either at the senior or 1st-year graduate level. The emphasis is on the physics of the problem and interpreting the response of structures to dynamic excitation. There is strong coverage of earthquake engineering.
Quantifying the seismic resilience of communities requires rigorous modeling of their behavior at disparate temporal (earthquakes – seconds vs. recovery – months) and spatial (component - meters vs. system - kilometers) scales. Hence, this dissertation has two main goals. The fi…
Earthquakes affect millions of people across the earth. Earthquakes cause billions of dollars of damage and hundreds of thousands of deaths per year. For these reasons that seismic resilience is a field of immense concern for government, stakeholders and researchers. As the fiel…
This book describes methods used to estimate forces and deformations in structures during future earthquakes. It synthesizes the topics related to ground motions with those related to structural response and, therefore, closes the gap between geosciences and engineering. Requiri…
