Description
SHAKE is one of the most successful community code efforts in the
earthquake
engineering profession. The SHAKE franchise was developed originally by
Lysmer, Schnabel, and Seed at Berkeley, and then extended in the 1990's
by Idriss and Sun at UC Davis. The SHAKE program is a frequency-domain
analysis for shear-wave propagation in layered soils, and provides for
underlying half-space analysis appropriate for many types of foundation
analyses in earthquake engineering research and practice. In
particular,
SHAKE is a useful tool for analyzing many forms of
soil-structure-interaction problems in earthquake engineering.
Features
SHAKE has a feature set appropriate for analysis of layered soils in
the frequency domain, including user-specified capabilities to add
incremental nonlinearities to the linear frequency-domain
response. Ground motions are flexibly specified in SHAKE, so that
calibration to a particular earthquake record is facilitated as part of
the computational analysis.
