When calculating the embedment of friction piles one uses, vertical load, seismic load and creep. For iisolated pad footings we don't. If I'm designing a hand dug caisson (end bearing deep foundation) should I still include creep and seismic ? At which point a footing becomes a caisson (from a regular pad footing) , what depth is considered a turning point, 3'... 5'... 7' ?
