Foundations for Seismic Loads

Dynamic Response and Soil Properties, 2007
Design of foundations in earthquake prone areas needs special considerations. Shallow foundations may experience a reduction in bearing capacity and increase in settlement and tilt due to seismic loading. The reduction in bearing capacity depends on the nature and type of soil and ground acceleration parameters.

Seismic Microzonation for Refinement of Seismic Load Parameters

Power Technology and Engineering, 2016
Functional dependencies are established for the characteristics of seismic transients recorded at various points of a studied site, which are used to propose a new approach to seismic microzonation (SMZ) that enables the creation of new SMZ maps of strong seismic motion, with due regard for dynamic parameters of recorded transients during weak ...

Seismic assessment of RC column under seismic loads

International Journal of Structural Integrity, 2019
PurposeAs it is widely known, corrosion is a major deterioration factor for structures which are located on coastal areas. Corrosion has a great impact on both the durability and seismic performance of reinforced concrete structures. In the present study, two identical reinforced concrete columns were constructed and mechanical tests were organized to ...

Seismic loading

European Journal of Environmental and Civil Engineering, 2011
This paper presents the main ground motion parameters which are used in earthquake engineering to characterize the seismic loading, as well as the key phyisclal phenomena that control their value and their variability. A first section shortly outlines the principles of strong motion measurement and the main networks and databases.

Passive Pressure During Seismic Loading

Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 1986
The results of a parametric study (based on a Mononobe-Okabe analysis) of passive earth pressure resistance of cohesionless soils under dynamic loading are presented. Since passive resistance decreases with increasing ground acceleration while the failure zone increases in size, retaining structures designed for static loading conditions may prove to ...

Foundations under seismic loads

2011
Shallow foundations may experience a reduction in bearing capacity and increase in settlement and tilt due to seismic loading as has been observed during several earthquakes. Shallow foundations for seismic loads have generally been designed by the equivalent static approach.

Fractures in seismically loaded bridges

Progress in Structural Engineering and Materials, 1997
AbstractDuring the Hanshin‐Awaji earthquake near Kobe, Japan, in January 1995, many civil structures suffered various kinds of damage which had never before been seen. Subsequently, many research programs have been undertaken which are related to the Hanshin‐Awaji earthquake and the associated damage.

Load-induced seismicity near Tsaoling, Taiwan

Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2018
Abstract Recent work shows erosion reduces vertical normal stress, triggering thrust earthquakes. Whether deposition will inhibit earthquake triggering, or favor different types of earthquakes is not clear. Here we address this question using earthquake catalogs, earthquake focal mechanisms, and a point-load stress transfer model to study induced ...

Seismic Risk and Design Loads

Earthquake Spectra, 2006
The 2003 International Building Code seismic design procedures do not result in uniform risk throughout the country. A comparison is made between the expected lifetime damage to two identical buildings—one in the western United States and other in the central United States.
