Seismic Design of Shallow Foundations: Principles, Design Methodologies and Current Indian Practices
https://orcid.org/https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6659-9197
The purpose of a foundation/substructure is to transfer the loads from the superstructure safely to the underlying soil. Safe and economical design of foundations to withstand various probable loading conditions is the prime role of a geotechnical engineer. The design of an earthquake-resistant foundation is highly challenging, as seismic loads are quite complex in nature. Design of a foundation against seismic loading requires not only a thorough understanding of the behaviour of the founding soil, response of the structure and interaction of the founding soil and the structure under earthquake loading but also a proper understanding of the basis for the recommendations of the relevant design standards of the country. An attempt is made here to discuss the basis for the recommendations of the Indian geotechnical design standards for shallow foundation design which deal with fixing the plan area and the founding depth (location from the ground surface), the prime focus being demystifying the design philosophy of IS 1893 for the seismic design of shallow foundations. In summary, a clear step-by-step design procedure that is to be adopted while designing a shallow foundation as per Indian Standards is presented.
