It is my understanding that "full" values of the horizontal seismic coefficient (Kh) are rarely applied in practice when using any pseudostatic approach available (Mononobe/Okabe, Seed/Whitman, etc). A geotech professor told me there are journals that justify the reduction of Kh for design...
I'm trying to set up a work sheet on Excel to calculate the settlement for rectangular footings. One step requires for me to read the influence value from NAVFAC DM-7 Figure 4 "Influence Value for Vertical Stress Beneath a Corner of a Uniformly Loaded Rectangular Area (Boussinesq Case) page...
Thanks for your help guys! It is my understanding that when performing a seismic slope stability analysis via Newmark the purpose is to calculate the permanent deformation for the slope in case instead of a factor of safety as in the pseudostatic analysis. However, once this deformation is...
Hi. Could anybody recommend the most user friendly seismic slope stability analysis software in the market? also, since I'm not familiar with the theory, a couple of references would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

P.S. We have Slide Version 5 at the office but this is a pseudo...
Hi
I need to model a concrete slab using STAAD and I am trying to get any info regarding the calculation of the soil rigidity K for my model. I was told it has something to do with Boussinesq but I haven't been able to find anything. Can you guys help me out please? Thanks in advance.
I need to write a paper on that topic and up to this point the only references I have been able to find are the LRFD standards from NDS and an upcoming book from Donald Breyer "Design of Wood Structures-ASD/LRFD", which as the name implies finally deals with LRFD. Any help will be really...
