Relationship between damages sustained by buildings during earthquakes and the type of their beds of foundations (from investigation of aftereffects of the 1976 and 1984 earthquakes in Gazli)

Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

Conclusions

1. The position of the water table exerts a significant influence on the earthquake resistance of buildings, especially in periods of intense rainfall.

2. The implementation of such structural measures as similar depth of foundation embedment, and the installation of bracing along sectional-block foundations in partial-frame buildings contributes to improved earthquake resistance of the buildings.

3. It is necessary to adopt measures in advance to prevent changes in the natural conditions of public-works projects under construction — the installation of a drainage system, etc.

4. Observance of the above-indicated rules in the presence of high-quality construction will make it possible to provide the required earthquake resistance of buildings in the Gazli region.
