Day Robert W. Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering Handbook

McGraw-Hill, 2002. — 612 p.ROBERT W. DAY is a leading geotechnical engineer and the Chief Engineer at American Geotechnical in San Diego, California. The author of over 200 published technical papers and four textbooks (Forensic Geotechnical and Foundation Engineering, Geotechnical and Foundation Engineering: Design and Construction, Geotechnical Engineer’s Portable Handbook, and Soil Testing Manual), he serves on advisory committees for several professional associations, including ASCE, ASTM, and NCEES. He holds four college degrees: two from Villanova University (bachelor’s and master’s degrees majoring in structural engineering), and two from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology [master’s and the Civil Engineer degree (highest degree) majoring in geotechnical engineering]. He is also a registered civil engineer in several states and a registered geotechnical engineer in California.Introduction to Earthquakes
