Design of Foundations for Dynamic Loads
Date & Time:
Wed, 06/18/2008 - 8:30am - Fri, 06/20/2008 - 5:30pmLocation:
Hilton Cincinnati, Netherland Plaza, 35 West Fifth Street, Cincinnati, OH, 45202ASCE Continuing Education Seminar
This seminar will provide a better understanding to practicing engineers and architects of the design and evaluation of shallow and pile foundations subjected to dynamic loads such as rotating machines and seismic events. Topics to be discussed include: Basic principles of soil dynamics and geotechnical earthquake engineering; response and design of shallow and pile foundations to rotating machine loads; remedial measures for machine foundations; evaluation of soil springs for seismic analysis; and solved seismic design examples for shallow foundations, retaining walls, and caissons.
