Centrifuge Modelling for Civil Engineers (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book on centrifuge modeling begins with the basics then gradually moves on to methods and applications such as shallow foundations, retaining walls, and pile foundations. It moves on to increasingly complex ones such as tunneling beneath existing pile foundations or assessing the stability of buildings and their foundations following earthquake-induced soil liquefaction. It addresses the use of modern imaging techniques, as well as data acquisition and modelling techniques. It also explains the necessary signal processing tools that are used to decipher centrifuge test data.

Autorenporträt

Dr Gopal Madabhushi is a professor of civil engineering at the University of Cambridge, UK and the director of the Schofield Centre. He has over 25 years of experience in the area of soil dynamics and earthquake engineering. His expertise extends from dynamic centrifuge modelling to the time domain finite element analyses of earthquake engineering problems, and has an active interest in the areas of soil liquefaction, soil-structure interaction, and liquefaction-resistant measures and their performances. Among other works he authored the geotechnical chapters in the book Seismic Design of buildings to Eurocode 8 (also published by Taylor & Francis).
