Seismic Loading Estimations
Seismic Loading Estimations
(OP)
I have looked at BS EN 1998 (Eurocode 8) and it seems rather complicated. The job is in the UK (as you probably would of guessed) and it's just a simple filter support. (see attached)

There is no soils information available and I was wondering if there is any way to simply calculate the effects of seismic loading on a foundation, or estimate the possible effects, without having soils info and surveys done?
The client considers it negligible, but because it was raised as a result of a HAZID study the issue has to be addressed. Any ideas, or refrence material that may be of help?

So except the support includes bracing that makes it overly conservative an approach without the required data may not work.
