IS-Tokyo 2009 - International Conference on Performance-Based Design in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering - from case history to practice
Description
THEME
One of the recent needs in practice of earthquake geotechnical engineering has been the development of performance-based design (PBD) principle, which had already been employed in seismic design of structures under strong earthquakes. The rapid development of practical and reliable performance-based design in geotechnical engineering is necessary for foundation design as well as for superstructures resting on incompetent soils.
TOPICS:
(1) Case histories on ground motions, site effects and soil-structure interactions including shallow foundations and pile foundations, embankments and slopes, embankment dams and underground structures
(2) Soil investigation with field and laboratory testing for performance-based design
(3) Dynamic characterization and modeling of soils for performance-based design
(4) Numerical analyses for performance-based design
(5) Methodology of performance-based design
(6) Recent developments in PBD codes
