    A NONSTATIONARY PROBABILISTIC MODEL FOR PORE PRESSURE DEVELOPMENT AND SITE RESPONSE

    DUE TO SEISMIC EXCITATION

    by

    Jaw-Nan Wang and

    Edward Kavazanjian, Jr.

    Report No. 84

    August 1987

  • The John A. Blume Earthquake Engineering Center was established to promote research and education in earthquake engineering. Through its activities our understanding of earthquakes and their effects on mankind’s facilities and structures is improving. The Center conducts research, provides instruction, publishes reports and articles, conducts seminar and conferences, and provides financial support for students. The Center is named for Dr. John A. Blume, a well-known consulting engineer and Stanford alumnus. Address: The John A. Blume Earthquake Engineering Center Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Stanford University Stanford CA 94305-4020 (650) 723-4150 (650) 725-9755 (fax) earthquake @ce. stanford.edu http://blume.stanford.edu
