This book provides a timely review and summary of the recent
advances in state-of-the-art earthquake geotechnics. The
earthquake disasters in Japan and New Zealand in 2011 prompted
the urgent need for the state-of-the-art earthquake geotechnics
to be put into practice for disaster mitigation. By reviewing the
developments in earthquake geotechnics over more than half a
century, this unique book enables readers to obtain solid grasp
of this discipline.

It is based on contributions from 18 leading international
experts, who met in Kyoto in June 2016 to discuss a range of
issues related to the developments of earthquake geotechnics. It
comprehensively discusses various areas of earthquake
geotechnics, including performance-based seismic design; the
evolution of geotechnical seismic response analysis from
1964-2015; countermeasures against liquefaction; solutions for
nuclear power plant disasters; the tsunami-caused inundation of
the Tokyo metropolitan area; and a series of state-of-the-art
effective stress analyses of case histories from the 2011 East
Japan Earthquake.
