Geotechnical Issues for Seismic-Resistant Design -- What Architects and Structural Engineers Should Know
A variety of seismic hazard issues may be addressed by a qualified Geotechnical Engineer beyond mere seismic site soils' classification. Understanding and addressing the implications of local geology and soil conditions on the seismic design of even conventional structures can provide cost and time savings throughout all phases of a project, from initial site selection through design, construction, and operations and maintenance of the facility. In addition, it is understood that variability of soil and rock conditions beneath two sites, as little as a few hundred feet laterally from one another, strongly influences the ground motion and base-shear design for structures at the respective sites. However, several codes, such as the Uniform Building Code and Building Officials Code Administration, do not account for important variability in geology and foundation soils.
