Abstract

The evaluation of bearing capacity of shallow strip footing under seismic loading condition is an important phenomenon. This paper presents a pseudo-dynamic approach to evaluate the seismic bearing capacity of shallow strip footing resting on c-F soil using limit equilibrium method considering the composite failure mechanism. A single seismic bearing capacity coefficient (N?e) presents here for the simultaneous resistance of unit weight, surcharge and cohesion, which is more practical to simulate the failure mechanism. The effect of soil friction angle(F), soil cohesion(c), shear wave and primary wave velocity(Vs, Vp) and horizontal and vertical seismic accelerations(kh, kv) are taken into account to evaluate the seismic bearing capacity of foundation. The results obtained from the present analysis are presented in both tabular and graphical non-dimensional form. Results are thoroughly compared with the existing values in the literature and the significance of the present methodology for designing the shallow strip footing is discussed.
