Design of Base and Foundation for the Earthquake-Resistant Building

Abstract. The article presents the design of the base and foundation for the earthquake-resistant 5- 9-storey building of a rigid structural system. The main technical idea is to exclude the most destructive components of seismic effects, which are transmitted to the lateral, and vertical walls of basements and foundations, and to reduce the interaction forces of the foundation soils on the foundation. The design of an earthquake-resistant base and foundation includes a solid reinforced concrete foundation slab with criss-cross strips, freely supported on an intermediate sandy cushion, which separates the soils from the foundation slab, and the channels around the foundation.
