Seismic Earth Pressures: Fact or Fiction?
The current state of practice in the United States as implemented in the International Building Code now requires that structures with subterranean walls be designed for seismic earth pressures in addition to the normal static earth pressures. Since many design issues in the building code are introduced because of observed failure or deficiencies during earthquakes, the requirement to design for seismic earth pressures is peculiar because there is little or no evidence that any failures in engineered subterranean structures have occurred in past or even recent earthquakes. This paper examines how seismic earth pressures entered into the design practice and reviews some of the methodologies used to estimate seismic earth pressures in current engineering practice in the United States.
