Eduardo Kausel Hommage à AnestisVeletsos ABSTRACT Soil Structure Interaction is an interdisciplinary field of endeavor which lies at the intersection of soil and structural mechanics, soil and structural dynamics, earthquake engineering, geophysics and geomechanics, material science, computational and numerical methods, and diverse other technical disciplines. Its origins trace back to the late...

This report reviews the soil-structure interaction (SSI) researches relating to three major earthquakes recently occurred in Japan, which include the 1993 Kushiro-oki earthquake, aftershocks of the 1993 Hokkaido-Nansei-oki earthquake and the 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu earthquake. The review work is focussed on the simulation analyses conducted on the basis of simultaneous earthquake records observed ...

In common buildings the soil-structure-interaction (SSI) is governed by the elastic behaviour of the building. The best conditions to see the soil effect predominate would be a dynamic rigid body movement of a massive building. For this reason measurements were carried out on an old anti-aircraft tower from World War II on typical Viennese soil conditions. The dynamic properties of the soil cou...

Described here is the Plastic Domain Decomposition (PDD) Method for parallel elasticplastic finite element computations related to Soil–Foundation–Structure Interaction (SFSI) problems. The PDD provides for efficient parallel elastic-plastic finite element computations steered by an adaptable, runtime repartitioning of the finite element domain. The adaptable repartitioning aims at balancing co...

Abstract The rapid development of the global economy has led to an increased energy demand throughout world. More than 70% world’s consumption is from use fossil fuels. In wake rising temperatures and carbon emissions, policymakers across globe think about alternate renewable ways generation, among which wind a promising source. Offshore turbines are new technologies challenging when it comes t...

The significance of incorporating soil-structure interaction effect in the analysis and design of RC frame buildings is increasingly recognized but still not penetrated to the grass root level owing to various complexities involved. It is well established fact that the soil-structure interaction effect considerably influence the design of multi-storey buildings subjected to lateral seismic load...
