Description:

This report provides specific procedures for the seismic design of bridge foundations and abutments based on hand-calculation methods using design charts and computer methods. This report supplements the "Seismic Design Guidelines for Highway Bridges" published as a design specification by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in 1983. Design procedures are presented for footings, piles, drilled shafts, and abutments. Comments on site investigation procedures and in situ and laboratory testing are also provided in relation to determination of site soil parameters for analyses. Additional comments are provided on earthquake-induced liquefaction and slope stability as they affect bridge foundation design. The selected design procedures were verified by comparing analytical predictions with experimental data.
