Due to randomness of seismic load, it is difficult to predict the complexity of the soil, pile, structures and their system. Presently, there isn’t a better way to explain and simulate the dynamic interaction of soil-pile-structure completely and precisely. Based on the stiffness expressions of interaction, the improved physical and mathematical models are setup to reflect the basic mass, stiff...

In seismic performance based design context, engineers are faced to a difficult task estimate the response of soil-structure interaction (SSI) systems. To accomplish this successfully, all sources random and epistemic uncertainties should be taken into account. However, uncertain parameters have not same influence on model response; sensitivity analysis is therefore required. This article treat...

Soil-structure interaction is interdisciplinary field which involves structural and geotechnical engineering. In the conventional non-interaction analysis of building frame structural designer assumed that columns are resting on unyielding support. Similarly, in foundation design, foundation settlements are calculated without considering the influence of the structural stiffness. Although, inte...
