Abstract In this paper, a new methodology for time domain analysis of buildings on raft foundations considering soil – structure interaction is proposed. Sub-structuring technique used to separate the building as super-structure and underneath sub-structure. The can be modeled using any numerical method. However, in paper via BEM consider real area between column slabs. dynamic load considered ...

Aseismic design of gravity wall still is a more difficult issue. The reason stems from the complexity of the problem which requires skills in soil mechanics, foundation engineering, soil-structure interaction along with knowledge of structure dynamics. Designing seismic gravity retaining structures deals with both kinematic interaction and inertial interaction but almost seismic building code n...

The aim of this work is to take full advantage Spectral Element (SE) and Finite (FE) codes by setting up a SEM/FEM co-simulation strategy for soil structure interaction problems, involving SE code generate propagate elastic waves in the soil, while FE enables detailed representation studied structure. spatial coupling managed standard mortar approach, whereas time integration dealt with an hybr...

Since the structure and foundation are built on soil, the soil is the major platform by which seismic vibrations are transmitted to the structure, and has noticeable effects on the response and behavior of structure during earthquakes. In this research, the recently introduced Performance-based plastic design (PBPD) and its modified Performance-based plastic design (MPBPD) method in which soil ...

The effect of frequency content on the dynamic response of concrete gravity dams is investigated in this paper. Dams are one of the most complex structures to handle when there is dynamic analysis involved. One of the influential parameters on these structureschr('39') seismic response is the frequency content of the earthquakes. An index to represent frequency content, which represents frequen...

The past earthquake study conducted on the foundation system (soil and foundation) reveals that the interaction of soil and foundation plays a major role in the response of superstructure. In this regard a literature survey has been carried out on frame structures supported on pile foundation which is in contact with more soil mass as compared to the other type of foundation system. In this res...

The present aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different parameters influencing pounding in highway bridges. Pounding is the result of a collision between two parts of the deck and/or the deck and abutments at the separation distance during the earthquake.  In the present study, the period ratio of the adjacent frames, ground motion spatial variation, and soil-structure interacti...
