Abstract The closed-form solution of the dynamic interaction of a shear wall and the isotropic homogeneous and elastic half-space, previously studied only for vertically-incident SH waves, is generalized to any angle of incidence. It is shown that the interaction equation is independent of the incidence angle, while the surface-ground displacements heavily depend on it. For the two-dimensional model studied, it is demonstrated that disturbances generated by waves scattering and diffracting around the rigid foundation mass are not a local phenomenon but extend to large distances relative to the characteristic foundation length.

abstract A study is made of the harmonic torsional response of an elastic structure placed on a rigid hemispherical foundation which is supported on an elastic medium and is subjected to the action of obliquely incident plane SH waves. As a basic step in the solution of the torsion interaction problem, a closed-form solution is obtained for the torsional response of a rigid hemispherical foundation excited externally by a harmonic torque and through the soil by an obliquely incident plane SH wave. Comparisons between the results for a hemispherical foundation with those for a circular plate allow the estimation of the effects that the embedment of the foundation has on the torsional response of the superstructure.

The dynamic soil-structure interaction (SSI) for incident plane SH waves is analyzed for a two-dimensional (2D) model of a shear wall on a rigid foundation by using the indirect boundary element method (IBEM). The rigid foundation utilized in this study is embedded in transversely isotropic (TI) soil layers over bedrock. The accuracy of the IBEM method is verified and analyzed by setting a semicylindrical, rigid foundation-shear wall structure system in the single TI soil layer and multiple TI soil layers over bedrock. This study shows that the TI characteristics of the site have a significant impact on the effective input motion and the superstructure response. In a single soil layer, the increase in the shear modulus ratio in the vertical and horizontal directions has a certain degree of amplified action on the effective input motion and the superstructure response. Simultaneously, the corresponding peak frequency of the response increases. In multiple soil layers, the changes in the effective input motion and the superstructure response are also affected by the TI characteristics of the soil layers, and the impact of this effect is related to the sequence of the layers.
