Abstract

This chapter deals with the design of shallow and deep foundation under seismic load. However, those who are conversant with design of structures under seismic load might wonder as to what is so special about it? Most of the codes around the world recommend an increase in allowable bearing capacity of soil by about 25% under seismic load combination for design of shallow foundations.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Here, DL = dead load, LL = live load, EL = earthquake load.

  2. 2.

    Here, we have presumed that the reader has some background on finite difference method.

  3. 3.

    A typical geotechnical engineer’s approach.
