Effect of Spacing and Slenderness Ratio of Piles on the Seismic Behavior of Building Frames
Buildings, 2022 The general assumption of a rigid base at the bottom of building structures during analysis and design underestimates the seismic response. Building structures resting on loose sand and soft clayey soil are vulnerable to earthquake forces.

Hybrid systems to enhance the seismic performance of steel soft-story structures
Budownictwo i ArchitekturaRecent global seismic events have shown that most destroyed structures were irregularly designed, especially those with a soft story. A “soft story” refers to a building floor significantly weaker or more flexible than the others, often because of large
