Designed to provide engineers with quick access to current and practical
information on the dynamics of structure and foundation, this unique work,
consisting of two separately available volumes, serves as a complete reference,
especially for those involved with earthquake or dynamic analysis, or the design
of machine foundations in the oil, gas, and energy sector.

This first volume deals with theories and formulations, covering the full range
of topics involved with dynamics of structure and foundation. It specifically
focuses on a unified approach in dealing with dynamic soil-structure interaction
and geotechnical considerations for dynamic soil-structure interaction.
The authors present new insights and theories, such as the computation of Rayleigh
damping for structures with a large number of degrees of freedom, and the dynamic
analysis of Hammer foundations, considering non-classical soil damping.

In a clear style, this well-illustrated guide addresses detailed topics, grouped
in the following major themes: elasticity and numerical methods in engineering;
lumped parameter vibration; soil-structure systems under static load, and structural
and soil dynamics. Intended for academics and professionals in civil and structural
engineering involved with earthquake or dynamic analysis or the design of machine
foundations.
