  • Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering Design

    Edited by Michele Maugeri, Claudio Soccodato ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)

However, this method does not provide any information about the deformations and permanent displacements induced by seismic activity. Moreover, it is questionable to use this approach when geotechnical systems are affected by frequent and rare seismic events. ... Read more
