SheikhNichols, SilasMaswoswe, JusticeSaad, ThomasDiMaggio, Jerry A.Federal Highway AdministrationThis manual serves as a reference manual for use with the 5-day NHI training course 130094 \u201cLRFD Seismic Analysis and Design of Transportation Geotechnical Features and Structural Foundations.\u201d Additionally it replaces the previous version of Geotechnical Engineering Circular No.3 \u201cDesign Guidance: Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering for Highways\u201d published in May 1997. This manual is intended to provide a technical resource for bridge and geotechnical engineers responsible for seismic analysis and design of transportation geotechnical features and structures such as soil and rock slopes, earth embankments, retaining structures and buried structures; and structural foundations including shallow and deep foundations and abutments. Topics include earthquake fundamentals and engineering seismology, seismic hazard analysis, ground motion characterization, site characterization, site-specific seismic site response analysis, geotechnical hazards including liquefaction, slope instability, and seismic settlement, and soil-foundation-structure interaction are included. This manual also addresses LRFD analysis and design requirements and recommendations of the seismic provisions in AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, AASHTO Guide Specifications for LRFD Seismic Bridge Design, and the NCHRP Report 611 from NCHRP Project 12-70 \u201cSeismic Analysis and Design of Retaining Walls, Buried Structures, Slopes, and Embankments.\u201d78
