Structural Design of Well Foundations on Slopes for Static and Seismic Conditions Considering V–H–M Interaction

Abstract

Abstract In this study, design forces in well foundations located on flat and sloping terrains were evaluated under the application of combined vertical (V), horizontal (H), and moment (M) loading. The distribution of bending moment and shear force in ... Practical Applications In the seismic design of bridges, energy dissipation is ensured through plastic-hinge formation at the bottom of the bridge pier. Accordingly, the design of the well foundation is performed to avoid geotechnical and structural ...
