Since 2015 the transition from traditional seismic design regulation to newly developed code of practice has been initiated in Kazakhstan. The introduced regulatory system involves application European approach for buildings and structures on territory This study aims present a comparative analysis codes applied Kazakhstan (i.e., SP RK 5.01-102-2013* Foundations Buildings Structures 2.03-30-201...

Abstract The presence of the groundwater level (GWL) at rock mass may significantly affect mechanical behavior, and consequently bearing capacity. water particularly modifies two aspects that influence capacity: submerged unit weight overall geotechnical quality mass, because circulation tends to clean open joints. This paper is a study has on ultimate capacity shallow foundations mass. calcula...

Abstract The results of dynamic centrifuge tests carried out to study the effects seismic input, fine crust and existing structure on liquefaction triggering manifestations are presented. basic concept experimentation was analyse behaviour level ground, saturated, 14 m deep sandy deposits, homogeneous or stratified, subjected increasing excitations up liquefaction, with without a one degree fre...

The undrained shear strength of clay is an important parameter for the design embankments, shallow foundations, and pile foundations. Among various methods testing strength, simple essential when shearing mode soil surrounding similar to that in a test. This study employs series tests with Berkeley apparatus. Three reconstituted natural clays one artificial were tested range coefficients consol...

Abstract The paper presents results of a numerical investigation on load capacity the mixed bench and slab shallow foundations (often used in process modernization old, antique buildings, which are suffering from lack capacity). main trouble with use existing analytical approaches is non-unique foundation level slab, they could even be founded different geotechnical layers. Proposed model based...

Shell foundations are often used to raise the carrying capacity of a structure on weak soils. In cases where large superstructure loads must be transferred poorer soils, shell more cost-effective than ordinary shallow foundations. Advances in study and design shell-type have shown their superiority over traditional footings The current aims investigate shape’s influence ultimate load capacity. ...

The effects of dynamic soil–structure interaction (SSI) have been extensively studied in the last few decades, and proper analysis for linear elastic case frequency domain has established successfully. However, SSI is rarely considered design building structures, instead, buildings are frequently analyzed using a rigid base assumption quasi-static loading conditions that ignore its nature. Ackn...

Abstract Onshore wind turbine foundations are subjected to large overturning moments. The action imposes cyclic and dynamic loading conditions which occur in extreme service scenarios. Deep foundations, when used, transfer this moment through a pile group combines the axial lateral resistance of all piles. paper explored key aspects onshore Brazil. main reason explore subject is that several au...
