Soil-Structure Interaction: Numerical Analysis and Modelling

2002 ◽  

This paper addresses the behaviour of multi storey structure considering soil structure interaction i.e. interaction between substructure of the building and soil. For this purpose a sample of 5 storey RC frames is analysed in conventional method with incremental static analysis for various load combinations and determines the parameters displacement, shear force and bending moment. Then a same 5 storey RC frame is analysed in numerical analysis using Finite Element Method (FEM) with raft foundation by assigning the soil properties to substructure and determine the parameters displacement, shear force and bending moment. According to the analysis results the parameters displacements, shear force and bending moment varies from conventional analysis to numerical analysis. Displacements of the structure increases, shear forces of the structure decreases and bending moment of the structure decreases at some points and increases at some points from conventional method of analysis to numerical method of analysis.

Modeling the soil–structure interaction (SSI) in seismic design involves the use of soil response curves for single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) structures; however, real structures have multiple degrees of freedom (MDOF). In this study, shaking-table-derived p-y curves for SDOF and MDOF superstructures were compared using numerical analysis. It was found that an MDOF structure experienced less displacement than an SDOF structure of the same weight, but the effect of increasing the DOF decreased at greater pile depths. Numerical analysis results estimated using the natural periods and mass participation rates of the structures were similar to those of shaking table tests. Abbreviations: finite element: FE; frequency response function: FRF; multiple degrees of freedom: MDOF; single degree of freedom: SDOF; soil–structure interaction: SSI.
