Seismic Design of Highway Bridge Foundations. Volume 1. Executive Summary

I. Lam / G. R. Martin

The report provides specific procedures for the seismic design of bridge foundations and abutments based on hand-calculation methods using design charts and computer methods. The report supplements the Seismic Design Guidelines For Highway Bridges published as a design specification by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in 1983. Design procedures are presented for footings, piles, drilled shafts, and abutments. Comments on site investigation procedures and in situ and laboratory testing are also provided in relation to determination of site soil parameters for analyses.
