Seismic Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations on Horizontal and Sloping Grounds: A Comparative Study
https://orcid.org/https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8741-8685
In the present study, different approaches for determining seismic bearing capacity of shallow foundations have been discussed and a comparison has been drawn between seismic bearing capacity of shallow foundations of various widths and foundation depths, resting on both horizontal and sloping grounds. In general, the bearing capacity of foundations for static loading condition has been extensively studied by many researchers in the past. However, limited studies have been found from literatures which highlight the effect of an earthquake event on the bearing capacity of shallow foundations, especially when the foundation is resting on a sloping terrain. In this study, Sarma and Iossifelis (Geotechnique 40(2):265–273, 1990, [1]), Richards et al. (J Geotech Eng, ASCE 119(4):662–674, 1993, [2]), Budhu and Al Karni (Geotechnique 43(1):181–187, 1993, [3]), Soubra (Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers: Geotechnical Engineering, London vol 125(4), pp 230–241, 1997, [4] and 1999), Kumar and Rao (Geotechnique 52(2):79–88, 2002, [5]), and Cascone and Casablanca (Soil Dyn Earthq Eng 84:204–223 2016, [6]) have been studied for computing seismic bearing capacity of shallow foundations of various widths resting on horizontal ground. Similarly, the seismic bearing capacity of shallow foundations of various widths resting on sloping ground has been computed by methods provided by Kumar and Rao (Geotechnique 53(3):347–361, 2003, [7]), and Chaudhary and Rao (Int J Geomech, ASCE 6(3):176–184, 2006, [8]). In the end, the seismic bearing capacity of shallow foundations with varying widths for horizontal and sloping grounds has been compared as obtained from different methods. This study helps in understanding the basic mechanism of load transfer from foundations to the surrounding ground as well as highlights on differences and similarities among different analytical solutions available for determining seismic bearing capacity of shallow foundations.
