Features: This book systematically introduces important theories, testing techniques, and analytical methods in the main fields of soil dynamics. The book consists of ten chapters. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the current research status of soil dynamics issues both domestically and internationally. Chapters 2 and 3 discuss the propagation characteristics of elastic waves in solids and saturated soils. Chapter 4 introduces the stress-strain relationship of soil under dynamic loads. Chapters 5 to 7 comprehensively elaborate on the commonly used indoor testing techniques and in-situ testing techniques in soil dynamics. Chapters 8 and 9 discuss soil engineering seismic theory and analysis, including seismic response, deformation, and stability analysis of soil mass, as well as seismic liquefaction of saturated soils. Chapter 10 introduces the dynamic interaction between soil and structures. References are provided at the end of each chapter, and an index is included at the end of the book. This book can serve as a textbook for graduate students in geotechnical engineering, as well as a reference for professional engineering technicians, researchers, and senior undergraduate students.
