Abstract
The Bragg scattering phenomenon of solid state physics and photonic crystal concept of optics have been applied to geotechnical engineering to minimize earthquake damage. A theoretical one dimensional wave propagation model is developed and presented. A layered soil profile has been proposed and analyzed. The proposed layered soil profile reflects the incoming waves within the desired design frequency bandwidth.
