As it is a reinforced concrete structure, the sliding should not be a concern due to the self-weight of the structure; same goes for overturning moment. The consideration of the frost penetration will govern the depth, if applicable. IF there is SOG, it can also govern the minimum possible depth of the footing. Why would you ask that? How can a retaining wall transfer any thrust to the foundation? There is no need to split the structure of this size in three portions. What is dynamic stiffness? I have not come across this term before in relation to the structural design of a building.

The structure is located in the lawn of the Red fort in Muzaffarabad. Probably, the seismic event caused the collapse. Inadequate stiffness, lack of flexural strength and confinement in the area of plastic hinge are reasons for the collapse.

Assalam-o-alaikum, Dear Colleagues! The Øresund bridge is an engineering marvel that connects the Danish capital of Copenhagen to the Swedish city of Malmö. A cable-stayed bridge runs nearly 8 km (5 miles) to an artificial island where it transitions into a tunnel that runs another 4 km (2.5 miles). The award-winning double-track railway and motorway opened on July 1, 2000.

I was looking up PSX today and noticed that 46.6 million shares of FCCL are being sold yet there is not a single buyer. Thanks.
