In this paper, study of the response (base shear, time period, storey drift, storey displacement) of a structure is done for the tall building including basement with fixed base and with pile foundation considering Soil Structure Interaction (SSI). Finite element based program ETABS2016 v16.1.0 is used for the analysis of the superstructure. Seismic analysis is done to get the dynamic response of superstructure for two types of model,one model is with fixed baseand second is Model with Winkler spring for Chhaya Center, Thamel, a high rise building with 14 story including double basements. Itisobserved with the consideration of Soil Structure Interaction (SSI). The soil is replaced by spring and assigned at joints. El Centro earthquake (1940) is used for time history analysis. The response obtained due to SSI effect is compared with fixed based model. Results of analysis presented include the comparison of natural periods, base shears, displacements and overturning moment. It is observed that the natural periods increase and the base shears decrease as the base become more flexible.

Parallel Control

Seismic behavior of tall buildings depends upon the dynamic characteristics of the structure, as well as the base soil properties. To consider these factors, the equations of motion for a multi-story 3D building are developed to include irregularity and soil–structure interaction (SSI). Inspired by swarm intelligence in nature, a new control method, known as swarm-based parallel control (SPC), is proposed in this study to improve the seismic performance and minimize the pounding hazards, by sharing response data among the adjacent buildings at each floor level, using a wireless-sensors network (WSN). The response of individual buildings is investigated under historic earthquake loads, and the efficiencies of each different control method are compared. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, the numerical example of a 15-story, 3D building is modeled, and the responses are mitigated, using semi-actively controlled magnetorheological (MR) dampers employing the proposed control algorithm and fuzzy logic control (FLC), as well as the passive-on/off methods. The main discussion of this paper is the efficiency of the proposed SPC over the independent FLC during an event where one building is damaged or uncontrolled, and an active control based upon the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) is considered for the purpose of having a benchmark ideal result. Results indicate that in case of failure in the control system, as well as the damage in the structural elements, the proposed method can sense the damage in the building, and update the control forces in the other adjacent buildings, using the modified FLC, so as to avoid pounding by minimizing the responses.
