Abstract
Chapters 2 and 3 are devoted to one dimensional problems: wave propagation in piles, and wave propagation in layers due to earthquakes in the underlying layers, as first developed in the 1970s at the University of California, Berkeley. In these chapters the mathematical methods of Laplace and Fourier transforms, characteristics, and separation of variables, are used and compared. Some simple numerical models are also presented.
