National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Training Course in Geotechnical and Foundation Engineering. NHI Course No. 13239, Module 9. Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering. Reference Manual.

PB99142531

Publication Date	1998
Personal Author	Munfakh, G.; Kavazanjian, E.; Matasovic, N.; Hadj-Hamou, T.; Wang, J. N.
Page Count	392
Abstract	This manual has been written to provide training on how to apply principles of geotechnical earthquake engineering to planning, design, and retrofit of highway facilities. Geotechnical earthquake engineering topics discussed in Part I of this manual include: deterministic and probabilistic seismic hazard assessment; evaluation of design ground motions; seismic site response analyses; evaluation of liquefaction potential and seismic settlements; seismic slope stability and deformation analyses; and seismic design of foundations and retaining structures. The manual provides detailed information on basic principles and analyses, with reference to where detailed information on these analyses can be obtained.
