SF4008 Earthquake Resistant Design of Foundations Syllabus:
SF4008 Earthquake Resistant Design of Foundations Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVES:
Focus is mainly on identifying the different kinds of loading induced on the foundation due to earthquake and soil – foundation interaction analysis with reference to various design parameters that including liquefaction of soil due to earthquake.
UNIT I BASIC DESIGN PARAMETERS
Dynamic properties of soils and its evaluation, strength and deformation characteristics of soils under earthquake loading, liquefaction hazard evaluations and remedial measures, geotechnical failure of foundations during earthquake, provision of IS 1893 and IS 13920
UNIT II SHALLOW FOUNDATION
Design requirements – bearing capacity – mechanisms and failure theories under earthquake loading – bearing capacity analysis for liquefied soil – bearing capacity analysis for cohesive and cohesionless soils – seismic settlement of foundation.
UNIT III DEEP FOUNDATION
Earthquake loading – inertial and kinematic loading – performance of piles during earthquake loading – theories of pile failure in liquefiable soils – failure based on bending mechanism/buckling instability – methods of analysis – force based or limit equilibrium method – p-y method – pile settlement – guidelines for designing of piles under kinematic loading due to liquefaction – seismic design of well/cassion foundations.
UNIT IV SEISMIC DESIGN OF RETAINING WALL
Seismic passive lateral earth pressure, behaviour of retaining wall during earthquakes, modification of Coulomb’s Theory, Modified Culmann’s Theory, displacement analysis, Indian standard code of practice.
UNIT V STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF FOUNDATION
Loads acting on foundations during earthquake –essential criteria for design of foundations in liquefiable soils – structural design of foundations subjected to earthquake loading.
OUTCOMES:
On completion of the course, the student is expected to be able to;
CO1 Evaluate the dynamic properties of soils and relevant design parameters
CO2 Design the shallow foundation subjected to earthquake loading by including the effect of soil liquefaction
CO3 Analyse and design the deep foundation by considering various earthquake forces
CO4 Analyse and design the retaining wall by incorporating earthquake forces
CO5 Perform structural design of foundations subjected to both static and dynamic loading
