In the quest to enhance the robustness and resilience of structures, especially when these are subjected to external stresses and strains, Seismic Response Analysis Methods for Site-Structure Systems serves as a vital reference for advanced students, researchers, and engineering professionals who seek to deepen their knowledge of soil dynamics theory and other earthquake engineering fundamentals underpinning building and infrastructure design and performance in both onshore and offshore environments.
The group of experts who authored the volume guide readers through an in-depth, highly technical overview of a variety of systematically presented computational mechanics techniques and sophisticated formulation tools (e.g., 1D finite element artificial boundary method, the stiffness matrix method, methods for absorbing boundary condition when solving the near-?eld wave propagation problems, methods for seismic wave input, the internal substructure method, integral analysis models in time domain based on the FEM, and more) to model and assess structural behavior under seismic loads. Case studies and other applied examples extend the book’s interest to the practical realm to create new, or to refine existing, measures to mitigate damage or prevent catastrophic losses.
