Probabilistic evaluation of soil-foundation-structure interaction effects on seismic structural response

A robust probabilistic evaluation of soil-foundation-structure interaction effects on structural response

Evaluation of soil-foundation-structure interaction (SFSI) effects on structural response is a challenging task because of the involved impact of uncertainties in system’s parameters and randomness in the input earthquake motion. In this paper, a rational method is utilized to elucidate these effects through the use of a rheological soil-foundation-structure model in a robust probabilistic simu...

Shake Table Study of Soil-Structure Interaction Effects on Seismic Response of Adjacent Buildings

The objective of this study is to design a robust direct model reference adaptive controller (DMRAC) for a nonlinear cardiovascular model over a range of plant parameters representing a variety of physical conditions. The direct adaptive controllers used in thisd study require the plant to be almost strictly positive real (ASPR) that is, for a plant to be controlled there must exist a feedback ...

Soil–Foundation–Structure Interaction Effects in Seismic Behavior of Bridges

Presented here is an analysis of the effects of soil-foundation-structure interaction (SFSI) on seismic response of highway bridges. Of particular importance is the issue of input motions, their scaling and application to the SFS models. The analysis presented in this paper addresses the influence of inelastic behavior of both the soil and the structural components during seismic response evalu...
