This text focuses on the spatial variability of the motions that is caused by the propagation of the waveforms from the earthquake source through the earth strata to the ground surface, and it brings together the various aspects underlying this complicated phenomenon. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics covered include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eEvaluation of the spatial variability from seismic data recorded at dense instrument arrays by means of signal processing techniques\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresentation of the most widely used parametric coherency models, along with brief descriptions of their derivation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIllustration of the causes underlying the spatial variation of the motions and its physical interpretation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEstimation of seismic ground-surface strains from single station data, spatial array records, and analytical methods\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduction of the concept of random vibrations as applied to discrete-parameter and continuous structural systems on multiple supports\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGeneration of simulations and conditional simulations of spatially variable seismic ground motions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOverview of the effects of the spatial variability of seismic motions on the response of long structures, such as pipelines, bridges and dams, with brief descriptions of select seismic codes that incorporate spatial variability issues in their design recommendations \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book may serve as a tutorial and\/or reference for graduate students, researchers and practicing engineers interested in advancing the current state of knowledge in the analysis and modeling of the spatial variation of the seismic ground motions, or utilizing spatially variable excitations in the seismic response evaluation of long structures. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aspasia Zerva\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0849399297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780849399299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 486\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.50w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2009 pg. 132","brand":"Aspasia Zerva","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112987242751,"sku":"9780849399299","price":255.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_61b77125-e2d3-4304-b1ab-9c6b6255d658.jpg?v=1769612294","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spatial-variation-of-seismic-ground-aspasia-zerva-9780849399299","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
