TY - BOOK ID - 135788290 TI - Rock quality, seismic velocity, attenuation and anisotropy PY - 2007 SN - 0415394414 9780415394413 9780203964453 0203964454 PB - London : Taylor & Francis DB - UniCat KW - Soil-structure interaction KW - Earthquake engineering UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:135788290 AB - Cross-disciplinary in nature, this book traces an ever-accelerating path through an important part of the earth sciences, describing seismic behaviour at many scales, and appropriate rock mechanics interpretation, as a means of illuminating and trying to understand what lies beneath the earth's immediate surface. The treatment is deliberately non-mathematical and phenomenological in nature, with a wealth of figures from a wide review of the literature from many earth science fields. The book reviews examples of seismic measurements from various fields and under various conditions. The last chapter highlights deeper, higjer stress and large scale applications. ER -
