Kramer joined the University of Washington faculty in 1984, where he researched liquefaction, seismic slope stability and dynamic soil behavior. Kramer also held positions at the International Centre for Geohazards at the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute and the European School for Advanced Studies in the Reduction of Seismic Risk (the ROSE School) at the University of Pavia. He retired in 2020.

He authored the first textbook on Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering[2] and co-led the multi-institution Next Generation Liquefaction project, sponsored by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, several transportation agencies, and others.[3]

Kramer was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2020, for contributions to geotechnical earthquake engineering, including liquefaction, seismic stability, and seismic site response.[5]

Steve Kramer received his BS, M.Eng., and PhD degrees from the University of California, Berkeley in 1977, 1979, and 1985, respectively. Kramer joined the geotechnical group in the University of Washington Department of Civil Engineering in 1984. He taught a wide range of undergraduate and graduate courses in geotechnical engineering, and advised numerous graduate students on Masters and Ph.D. research projects. His primary research interests included soil liquefaction, site response analysis, seismic slope stability, and hazard analysis. He continues to conduct research work in the area of performance-based earthquake engineering, specifically the integration of probabilistic response analyses with probabilistic seismic hazard analyses.

This is the first book on the market focusing specifically on the topic of geotechnical earthquake engineering. Also covers fundamental concepts in seismology, geotechnical engineering, and structural engineering.

This report describes sources and types of uncertainty in geotechnical engineering practice, and introduces the basic concepts and terminology of the theory of probability. Statistical parameters and the probability distributions most commonly used to describe geotechnical parameters are reviewed. The report then presents tabulated statistical parameters for soil properties that have been reported in the literature; both laboratory and field-measured parametersĀ 

describing moisture-density, plasticity, strength, and compressibility characteristics are presented. The theory of regionalized variables, including concepts of auto correlation, variograms, and stationarity are presented, along with tabulated values of parameters describing spatial variability that have been reported in the literature. Finally, procedures and tools for estimation and simulation of spatially variable soil properties are presented.

This is the first book on the market focusing specifically on the topic of geotechnical earthquake engineering. Also covers fundamental concepts in seismology, geotechnical engineering, and structural engineering.

This fully-updated new edition provides an introduction to geotechnical earthquake engineering to first-time readers (typically first-year graduate students) with a level of detail that will be useful to more advanced students, as well as researchers and practitioners. It covers the topic of geotechnical earthquake engineering beginning with an introduction to seismology and earthquake ground motions. It also includes hazard analysis and performance-based earthquake engineering design and dynamic soil properties. These topics are followed by site response and its analysis and soil-structure interaction. Ground failure in the form of soil liquefaction and seismically induced landslides are also addressed, and the book closes with a chapter on soil improvement and hazard mitigation. The first edition has been widely used around the world by geotechnical engineers and students, as well as practicing seismologists and structural engineers.

This is the first book on the market focusing specifically on the topic of geotechnical earthquake engineering. The book draws from the fields of seismology and structural engineering to present a broad, interdiciplinary view of the fundamental concepts in seismology, geotechnical engineering, and structural engineering.

The civil, architectural and environmental engineering department at

Missouri University of Science and Technology will host GeoMO 2008, a one-day

workshop on geotechnical earthquake engineering site response, from 9 a.m. to

4:30 p.m. Friday, May 2, on campus.

At the end of the course the student will know the main aspects of earthquake engineering, and in particular: seismology and hazard, behaviour of structures under earthquake action, with elastic and inelastic behaviour, definition of the seismic action, design methods according to the most important Codes and regulations, detailing. The methods will be described with reference to reinforced concrete, steel and masonry structures.

are required to attend this course. These topics are covered in the following courses: Advanced Design of Structures and Advanced Structural Mechanics. A background on the Finite Element method is also recommended. This latter is provided by the Numerical Methods course. Fluent spoken and written English is a necessary pre-requisite: all lectures, tutorials, and all reference documents will be in English.

Achievements will be assessed by means of two homework assignments and a final written examination. They are based on an analytical assessment of the learning outcomes described above, as described in the following.

The written examination is closed-book ad aims at evaluating the knowledge and critical understanding of the key concepts of the course. It is based on either two or three open questions. The duration spans form 1 hour to 1.5 hours, depending on the questions.

In order to obtain a passing grade, students are required to demonstrate a knowledge of the key concepts of the subjects, some ability for critical application, and a comprehensible use of technical language. A failing grade will be awarded if students show knowledge gaps in key-concepts of the subject, inappropriate use of language, and/or logic failures in the analysis of the subject. 152ee80cbc
