Comprehensive Seismic Zonation Schemes for Regions at Different Scales
This book reviews and assesses the various methodologies for site characterization and site effect estimation to carry out seismic zonation at micro and macro levels. Readers will learn about the suitability of these methodologies for each level of zoning that needs to be assessed in order to optimize the resources for carrying out seismic zonation. The Indian sub-continent is highly vulnerable to earthquake hazards, and past studies have focused primarily on the Himalayan region (inter-plate zone) and the northeast region (subduction zone). The book improves understanding of the Peninsular India that also has significantly high seismicity and is prone to earthquakes of sizeable magnitude. Particular attention is given to the various methodologies for assessing seismic hazards, the scales at which site characterizations are carried out, and optimal methods for zonation practices using site data and hazard indexes. Aimed at students, this book will be of use to post-graduates and doctoral students researching seismic zonation, hazard assessment and mitigation, and spatial data in earth sciences.
Soil Dynamics and Computational Geomechanics
This book presents the select proceedings of the 8th Indian Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference (8IYGEC 2021) on the following conference themes: soil dynamics and earthquake engineering, computational geomechanics and reliability in geotechnical engineering. The book covers a wide range of topics on liquefaction and stability analysis, dynamic properties, soil–structure interaction, response of framed structure on geotechnical seismic isolation system, seismic response of retaining walls with sand-tire chip mixtures, ground response analysis, probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, etc. The book can be a valuable reference for researchers and professionals.
