Recent Developments in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering
Abstract
Systematic studies on soil dynamics and geotechnical earthquake engineering started in the US, Japan and all over after the Niigata and Anchorage earthquakes of 1964. The amount of literature generated in 3-decades around the world has helped in earthquake hazard mitigation. However several problems still defy clear understanding. Two such problems, liquefaction and flow of soils, and dynamic soil-pile-structure interaction have been briefly described. A detailed state of the art is presented on seismic displacements of rigid retaining walls. Also papers presented to this session have been briefly reviewed.
