Description
Shallow Foundation Design with Liquefiable Soils
This
presentation will go through Design Example 62 “Shallow Foundation Design with
Liquefiable Soils”. The design example is based on an actual project in
which an existing building on a site with liquefiable soils and with shallow
foundations was required to be brought to current building code standards. It
delves into ASCE 7-16 Section 12.13.9, discussing when shallow foundations can
be used and for what parameters they must be designed on sites with liquefiable
soils.
Pile Foundations
Many of the questions regarding cold-formed steel framed seismic
force-resisting systems regard the which floor framing system should be used,
overturning restraint options and their design and detailing, wall stud bracing
design and detailing, the use of the overstrength and expected strength
factors, and the difference between previous to latest code design
requirements. This presentation will focus on these aspects of design as
covered in the SSDM design example.
