Good morning everybody,

In IS1893 (Part 1):2002, Clause 6.2 : Assumptions, assumption (b)
states,

" Earthquake is not likely to occur simultaneously with wind or maximum
flood or maximum sea waves."

Does it mean that, Seismic load & Ground Water Table at highest level
(generally considered at Finished Ground Level) are not to be
considered concurrently?

Specially in case foundation design, for UPLIFT check, can we ignore
the same?

Regards,
Satish Jethwani.
