Design Guidance: Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering for Highways
About this episode
A comprehensive technical guidance on protecting highway infrastructure from seismic activity. Published in 1997, the document serves as a practical resource for engineers to manage earthquake-related risks such as soil liquefaction, slope instability, and structural foundation failure. It outlines essential design principles for evaluating ground motion, assessing seismic hazards, and implementing effective ground modification techniques. The text also explores historical damage patterns across the United States to illustrate how seismic forces impact bridge supports and earth retaining systems. By bridging the gap between theoretical seismology and practical construction, the source aims to improve the resilience of national transportation facilities. This first volume focuses specifically on analytical methods and fundamental concepts required for safe engineering in earthquake-prone regions.
