Soil Dynamics with Applications in Vibration and Earthquake Protection

Soil dynamics plays a significant role in a variety of geotechnical tasks. In earthquake engineering, this relates to the stability of embankments, slopes, foundations, retaining walls, and tunnels, while vibrations caused by traffic and construction activities represent a crucial aspect of environmental protection. Machine foundations and cyclically loaded offshore structures are also part of the application spectrum. The book covers the fundamentals of soil dynamics and, building on that, the practical application in vibration protection and earthquake engineering.
