An Introduction to Soil Dynamics
Series: Theory and Applications of Transport in Porous Media, Vol. 24

▶ Offers detailed derivations of solutions

▶ Provides listings of main parts of computer programs
▶ Covers computer programs that are available on website
▶ Includes dynamics of porous media

This book presents the basic principles of soil dynamics, and a variety of solutions of
practical interest for geotechnical engineering, geophysics and earthquake engineering.
Emphasis is on analytical solutions, often including the full derivation of the solution,
and giving the main parts of computer programs that can be used to calculate numerical
data. Reference is also made to a website from which complete computer programs can
be downloaded. Soil behaviour is usually assumed to be linear elastic, but in many cases
the effect of viscous damping or hysteretic damping, due to plastic deformations, is also
