soil-structure interaction

2014
Seismic waves propagating through the soil impinge upon structures founded on the soil surface or embedded into it. Displacements are then produced both in the structure and in the soil. The mutual dependency of the displacements is called soil-structure interaction, abbreviated as SSI. Consequently, the motion occurring at the base of the structure is

Soil Structure Interaction

2021
This chapter addresses the interaction between the structure and its foundation. It begins with a seldom covered problem: rocking of the structure on the foundation and possible “lift-off” that would act as stress reliever. Different techniques to model this problem are outlined.

Soil–Structure Interaction

2017
The response of a structure under seismic excitations is affected by interactions between three connected structural parts: the structure, the foundation, and the soil underlying and surrounding the foundation [290].

Soil–Structure Interaction

This chapter introduces the concept of soil–structure interaction and summarises the methods available for predicting the behaviour of foundations and substructural elements constructed within a soil mass. An overview of the most frequently used soil models that are incorporated into this type of calculation are discussed, with recommendations on the ...

Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction

Journal of the Structural Division, 1972
THE EFFECT OF SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION ON THE STRUCTURAL RESPONSE TO EARTHQUAKE MOTION IS ANALYZED. THE STRUCTURE IS MODELED BY A ONE DEGREE-OF-FREEDOM SYSTEM RESTING ON AN ELASTIC HALF SPACE. THE SOIL IS THEN APPROXIMATED BY SIMPLE MASS-SPRING DASHPOT SYSTEMS USING THE SOLUTIONS OBTAINED BY BYCROFT FOR THE SOIL COMPLIANCES.

soil-structure interaction

2008
Usually in the seismic design of ordinary building, soil structure interaction is neglected and the dynamic response of the structure is evaluated under the assumption of a fixed based response. However during seismic loading the soil undergoes deformations which are imposed to the foundation, the question naturally arises of knowing if the motion in ...

Modelling soil-structure interaction construction

Computers & Structures, 1988
Abstract For buried structures, where the structural action is the result of an interaction between the surrounding soil mass and the structure, the analysis must consider the effects of the construction sequence. The usual method of adding elements, when using a finite element program that has the capability of adding and removing elements to ...

Vertical soil-structure interaction effects

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1979
abstract An analytical expression describing the three-dimensional vertical soil-structure interaction effects is developed using Laplace and Hankel transformation techniques. Utilizing these transformation techniques and normal mode theory of vibration, an N-mass structural model is coupled to an elastic half-space representing the ...

Seismic soil-structure interaction.

1989
A time domain analysis procedure and computational models for seismic soil-structure interaction are presented in this work. The time domain analysis technique makes it possible to take the nonlinearity of the soil and the upper structure into account in the soil-structure interaction analysis. The boundary element method has been used to model the far-

Soil-structure interaction: FEM computations

1995
Publisher Summary The chapter reviews aspects of the soil–structure interface behavior at the element level and the numerical integration of the corresponding interface constitutive models. The design of structures subjected to soil–structure interaction and to contact with friction should be tackled using soil–structure interface constitutive ...
