The Art and Science of Seismic Interpretation (SpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences)

Springer, 2019

Seismic data is one of the fundamental tools used to interpret subsurface geology with application to understanding of earth processes, tectonic evolution, and energy exploration in particular. This book is written for technical specialists who are new to seismic geophysics. It introduces the seismic data set including how the data...

Seismic Imaging and Inversion: Volume 1: Application of Linear Inverse Theory

Cambridge University Press, 2012

Extracting information from seismic data requires knowledge of seismic wave propagation and reflection. The commonly used method involves solving linearly for a reflectivity at every point within the Earth, but this book follows an alternative approach which invokes inverse scattering theory. By developing the theory of seismic imaging from...

Earthquake Engineering for Structural Design

Bridge Engineering: Seismic Design (Principles and Applications in Engineering)

CRC Press, 2003

Mitigating the effects of earthquakes is crucial to bridge design. With chapters culled from the best-selling Bridge Engineering Handbook, this volume sets forth the principles and applications of seismic design, from the necessary geotechnical and dynamic analysis background to seismic isolation and energy dissipation, active control, and retrofit...

Seismic Design for Architects

Architectural Press, 2008

Essential visual guide to successful architecture in earthquake zones

Architects across the world have to design buildings that need to comply with strict seismic codes. All too often the need to comply with the code is put ahead of the design of the building, resulting in dull and functional architecture.

Spatial Variation of Seismic Ground Motions: Modeling and Engineering Applications (Advances in Engineering Series)

CRC Press, 2009

Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this book provides coverage from seismological and engineering, deterministic and stochastic, as well as physical and mathematical points of view. The author describes the estimation of spatial variability from recorded data, its physical interpretation, and the development of spatial variability/coherency...

Arduino Projects to Save the World

Apress, 2011

Arduino Projects to Save the World shows that it takes little more than a few tools, a few wires and sensors, an Arduino board, and a bit of gumption to build devices that lower energy bills, help you grow our own food, monitor pollution in the air and in the ground, even warn you about earth tremors.

Earthquake Engineering: From Engineering Seismology to Performance-Based Engineering

CRC Press, 2004

Earthquake engineering (EE) is an integration of multidisciplinary knowledge in several areas of basic sciences and science-based engineering with the ultimate goal of reducing the seismic risks to socioeconomically acceptable levels.

In the U.S., the first comprehensive book covering various aspects of EE was...
