Georisk & Hazards

Earthquake Geotechnical Case Histories for Performance-Based Design is a collection of twenty-six case histories, each study containing well-instrumented geotechnical and earthquake data. Each case history includes information on site characterization, earthquake motions, and quantitative descriptio..

This guide provides the how-tos for recognizing and understanding various geologic hazards, and providing safe and economical construction. Expert Roy E. Hunt thoroughly examines the potential for slope failures, earthquakes, ground subsidence, collapse, and expansion. Using a clear conceptual appro..

Gives a historical introduction to embankment dams and describes the need for instrumentation, planning procurement, and installation practices of instruments. Discusses visual inspection, seepage, pore pressure, surface and internal displacements.....

The 25 papers collected together in this volume present comprehensive coverage of all major aspects of landslide risk assessment, including the risk assessment framework, and methods for estimating probability of landsliding vulnerability and risk.....

The proceedings contain five invited lectures and 99 papers relevant to landslide occurrence and problems from Europe, Asia, America, Africa and Australia and New Zealand. The five special invited lectures deal with a variety of important aspects .....

The identification of meso-scale phenomena occurring between microscopic and continuum length scales has been one of the most exciting developments in the last decade in understanding shear between material interfaces as well as particulate systems. It is considered to be the bridge between the two ..

This book explains and presents the need for Multihazard Consideration (MH) in the management of civil infrastructure, what constitutes MH, and how to address MH in design and analysis. A generalized theory of MH will serve as the basis of the objective treatment of this volume. Use of MH in bridge ..

This text was compiled by the Japanese Geotechnical Society. It describes everything about the remedial measures against liquefaction currently used in Japan following research projects after the Niigata earthquake of 1964...
