“…The soil engineering properties and design parameters of Site A and Site B are provided in Table 5. The soil type and γ were determined in accordance with GOST 25100-2011 [32] and GOST 5180-2015 [33], respectively; 𝑐 and φ were determined in accordance with GOST 12248-2010 [34]; 𝑐 was estimated in accordance with Moon and Ku [35].

“…Referring to Silacheva et al [36,37], the values of peak ground acceleration with a return period of 475 years for Almaty city territory are obtained. Following the equation for statistical estimation of the undrained shear strength, c u , provided by Moon and Ku [35], it was calculated that c u equals 74.4 kPa for Site A conditions. The width of a strip foundation is assumed as 3.3 m for Site A.…”

“…Following Equation ( 18), the value of v s, 30 for the Site B equals 269 m/s. The undrained shear strength, c u , was calculated following Moon and Ku [35] so that c u of the Site B equals 59.3 kPa. The width of a strip foundation is assumed as 5 m. The assumed value of the foundation width for Site B exceeds the value for Site A due to the increased seismic intensity of the site.…”

Since 2015 the transition from the traditional seismic design regulation to the newly developed code of practice has been initiated in Kazakhstan. The introduced regulatory system involves the application of the European approach for the seismic design of buildings and structures on the territory of Kazakhstan. This study aims to present a comparative analysis of seismic design codes applied in Kazakhstan (i.e., SP RK 5.01-102-2013* Foundations of Buildings and Structures and SP RK 2.03-30-2017* Construction in Seismic Regions) and SP RK EN 1998-5:2004/2012 Design of Structures for Earthquake Resistance, identical to Eurocode 8 (EC8). One of the critical aspects of the research investigates the difficulties of integrating European design standards into the local regulatory system. The necessity of applying the European approach considering the geotechnical features of the country provided in the National Annex (NA) is defined and proved. The designed codes of practice are also compared in terms of conservativeness, when considering a design problem verifying the seismic bearing capacity of a shallow foundation in Almaty city.
