Publisher's Synopsis
Situations requiring detailed knowledge of the cyclic loading of soils occur in the construction of off-shore platforms, design in seismic regions, structural design of roads and construction of railways. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the considerations involved in design and construction where cyclic loading is an important factor. The factors which ought to be considered, the soil models available and the relevant soil properties which should be measured are discussed.;Written for practising geotechnical and civil engineers, consultants and designers, this book will also be of interest to advanced postgraduates and researchers in this field.
