    Soil bearing pressure and seismic overturning

    Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you could help me out on a problem I've been stuck with. Say you have a continuous wall footing with two shearwall segments. Say the footing is 20' long, and you have a 5' long x 8' high shearwall on each end. The seismic force on this wall line is 5 kips...

    Bearing pressure of soil from seismic force on column

    I am analyzing an existing building with several steel moment frames, and was wondering how to approach calcing out the pressure on the soil from the seismic forces on the columns. Each moment frame is on a grade beam 16" wide and 1' deep. Say for a 10' high frame with columns spaced 10'...
