The NEHRP Seismic Design Technical Brief No. 7: Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Mat Foundations: A Guide for Practicing Engineers, was produced under contract to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), by the NEHRP Consultants Joint Venture, a joint venture of ATC and the Consortium of Universities for Research in Earthquake Engineering (CUREE). (Published 2012, 30 pages)
ABSTRACT: The primary objective of this project was to produce a new Technical Brief addressing Reinforced Concrete Mat Foundations (RCMF) for structures that must resist lateral forces resulting from inertial effects in earthquakes. This Technical Brief will be a synthesis of model building code requirements and leading practitioner-recognized techniques, resulting in clear and concise analysis, design, and construction guidance for use by practicing structural engineers.
