Dynamic Behavior of Concrete and Seismic Engineering

About this book

While the static behavior of concrete has been the subject of numerous works, the same cannot be said regarding the dynamic behavior. This book sets out to remedy this situation: it begins by presenting the most frequently used experimental techniques used in the study of the dynamic behavior of concrete, then continues by examining seismicity and seismic behavior, soil behavior, models of concrete structures subject to seismic activity, seismic calculation methods of structures and paraseismic engineering.

Contents

1. Dynamic behavior of concrete: experimental aspects, Francois Toutlemonde and Gerard Gary. 2. Material behavior of concrete: constitutive models, Patrice Bailly. 3. Seismic ground motion, Pierre-Yves Bard. 4. Dynamic soil-structure interaction, Alain Pecker. 5. Experimental methods in seismic engineering, Alain Millard, Pierre Pegon and Jean-Claude Queval. 6. Experiments on large structures, Patrick Paultre and Jean Proulx. 7. Models for simulating the seismic response of concrete structures, Didier Combescure, Nicolas Ile, Jacky Mazars and Jean-Marie Reynouard. 8. Seismic analysis of structures using a probabilistic approach, Jean-Rene Gibert. 9. Engineering practice: lessons from experience and rules for seismic design, Philippe Bisch.
