Seismic Performance of Soil-Foundation-Structure Systems presents invited papers presented at the international workshop (University of Auckland, New Zealand, 21-22 November 2016). This international workshop brought together outstanding work in
earthquake engineering that embraces a holistic consideration of
soilfoundation-structure systems. For example, the diversity of papers
in this volume is represented by contributions from the fields of
shallow foundation in liquefiable soil, spatially distributed lifelines,
bridges, clustered structures (see photo on front cover), sea floor
seismic motion, multi-axial ground excitation, deep foundations,
soil-foundation-structurefluid interaction, liquefaction-induced
settlement and uplift with SFSI. A fundamental knowledge gap is manifested by the isolated manner
geotechnical and structural engineers work. A holistic consideration of
soil-foundation-structures systems is only possible if civil engineers
work collaboratively to the mutual benefit of all disciplines. Another
gap occurs by the retarded application of up-to-date research findings
in engineering design practices. Seismic Performance of Soil-Foundation-Structure Systems is
the outcome from the recognized need to close this gap, since it has
been observed that a considerable delay exists between published
research findings and application of the principles revealed by the
research. Seismic Performance of Soil-Foundation-Structure Systems will
be helpful in developing more understanding of the complex nature of
responses these systems present under strong earthquakes, and will
assist engineers in closing the gaps identified above.
