According to ACI/UBC/IBC, what load combinations should be used to check foundation soil pressure against bearing capacity for the following cases:
1. Considering only gravity loads
2. Considering both earth quake and gravity loads
In my area engineers use D+L for the first case and D+L+0.714EQ for the second case with 33% exceedance allowed (from allowable bearing capacity).
I am unable to find references for the above. Please point me to the reference.
Thanks
