Nonlinear Behavior of Soils Under Exposure to Seismic Activity

  • EARTHQUAKE-RESISTANT CONSTRUCTION
  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

A behavior of various soils under exposure to seismic effects is analyzed. To optimize the seismic stability calculations for buildings and structures, a relationship developed based on processing the instrumentation records of the previously occurred earthquakes is proposed, which can be used to estimate ground vibration accelerations considering the specifics of the rock formations.
