Computer Simulation of a Seismic Wave Acting on a Slab with a Spread Footing and a Pile Foundation

Key Points

• The simulation reveals how seismic waves influence the stability of slabs and foundations under stress.
• Key evidence indicates that the interaction involves both the slab's response and the foundation type.
• Computer simulation offers insights into the elasticity and durability of spread footings and pile foundations under seismic load.
• Highlighting structural resilience under seismic forces may inform future engineering designs and safety standards.
