Recent Developments in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering for Transportation Facilities

摘要：

The past decade has seen significant advances in the practice of geotechnical earthquake engineering for transportation facilities. These advances include more sophisticated methods to account for the influence of local site conditions on design ground motions, consideration not only of whether or not liquefaction will occur but of the consequences of liquefaction, and updated methods for evaluating the seismic performance of slopes and retaining walls. On top of these advances in design methods, the introduction of load and resistance factor design promises to make fundamental changes in the manner in which geotechnical problems are addressed in practice.
