Dynamics of waves in civil engineering

Abstract

Reviewed by Ya. I. NatariusTh/s book was prepared on the basis of materiaI presented at a conference organized by the Society for Earthquake and Civil Engineering Dynamics and held on July 7-9, 1970 at the University College of Swansea (USA). This conference was attended by participants from many countries (including the USSP0, who presented papers reflecting the research work in many fields, such as the characteristics (nature) of dynamic processes (seismic motion of the soil foundation mass, wave action of water media, hydrodynamic action under earthquakes, blasting action, etc.); the study of the behavior of dynamic systems: structure-soil, s~ucture-soil-reservoir; the selection and interpretation of the records of vibrations of soils and structures; the organization of seismome~ic services; and full-scale investigations.
