- Abstract
- Research to ascertain the influence of superimposed concentrated footing loads of buildings on shallow, buried rigid pipes in urban areas in the event of an earthquake is summarized. Static analyses using the finite element technique are performed for various loading conditions, and dynamic analyses are performed on the finite element model of the system using both linear and nonlinear soil properties.
