The mechanism of earthquake energy input to building structures is clarified by considering the surface ground amplification and soil-structure interaction. The earthquake input energies to superstructures, soil-foundation systems and total swaying-rocking system are obtained by taking the corresponding appropriate free bodies into account and defining the energy transfer functions. It has been...

In this study, the effective parameters on the inelastic response of asymmetric buildings is evaluated for an ensemble of real Iranian earthquake records by considering soil-structure interaction. Then, the design eccentricity obtained from the inelastic dynamic soil-structure analysis is compared with the design eccentricity of seisimic codes of Iran, ATC-3, New Zeland, Canada, Mexico, Austral...

This paper presents novel measurement data on the dynamic soil–structure interaction of an end-bearing pile foundation. The purpose is to assess ability predict foundation impedances based small-strain properties soil obtained from site investigations. Measurements were performed in two stages construction, allowing between piles through soil. First, single and factors experimentally for four w...

Earthquakes that occur in buildings can lead to collision force with the next building if initial gap between two is not sufficient for its free vibration responses. Collisions cause amplification of internal forces structural elements and on contact zone usually considered design so it damage collapse buildings. This study aime determine effect Soil-Structure Interaction dilatation structures ...

This study proposed a procedure of using the energy method to evaluate SSI-related damping effect when soil–structure interaction (SSI) was considered in bridge pier system, which can thus be deemed soil–foundation–superstructure (SFS) inelastic system. Firstly, SSI is implemented by adopting discrete-time recursive filter approach as well frequency-dependent foundation–soil impedance functions...

The paper defines an updated method for “soil – reinforced concrete foundation” calculation that takes into account their mutual interaction. In this method, both the foundation structure and footing are represented by a rigid-plastic model, which makes it possible to determine bearing capacity of system. This eliminates possibility destruction from punching exhaustion its capacity. It further ...
