Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering (2nd Edition)

Updated textbook on geotechnical earthquake engineering that covers seismology, strong ground motion, site response and dynamic soil behaviour, leading into seismic design of foundations, retaining structures and slopes. Kramer presents performance-based earthquake engineering concepts, probabilistic hazard assessment and practical procedures for evaluating liquefaction, cyclic softening and seismic slope stability using both simplified and advanced methods. The second edition provides current guidance for integrating seismic demands into slope stability assessments for critical infrastructure and earth structures.
