In this research, Performance-Based Plastic Design (PBPD) method has been modified according to the proposed method for considering Soil–Structure Interaction (SSI) effects. In the proposed modified method, based on the existing relationships and in order to maintain the simplicity of the PBPD design method, two important parameters have been modified in the PBPD design method. These two parame...

After the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan, whether structural safety of power plant (NPP) can be guaranteed under an earthquake has been wide concern. Automatic seismic trip systems (ASTS) have deployed NPPs. There are generally two units or more double on one NPP site, and vibration energy structure certainly affect its adjacent structures through soil, there is transfer conversion between...

The structural behaviour of adjacent buildings during a pounding and the impact which has been subject discussion for many years soil-structure interaction (SSI) ignored in design due to its complexity. However, recent research showed that SSI effects can increase lateral deflections structures founded on soft deposits. also affect inter-storey drifts similar founding soil, causing inelastic su...

Most regional seismic damage assessment (RSDA) methods are based on the rigid-base assumption to ensure evaluating efficiency, while these practices introduce factual errors due neglecting soil–structure interaction (SSI). Predicting influence of SSI responses regionwide structure portfolios remains a challenging undertaking, as it requires developing numerous high-fidelity, integrated models c...

The effects of dynamic soil–structure interaction (SSI) have been extensively studied in the last few decades, and proper analysis for linear elastic case frequency domain has established successfully. However, SSI is rarely considered design building structures, instead, buildings are frequently analyzed using a rigid base assumption quasi-static loading conditions that ignore its nature. Ackn...

The need for an accurate risk assessment procedure led to the development of various fragility and vulnerability curves, covering a wide range building typologies. Nonlinear soil behavior soil–structure interaction (SSI) effects play essential role in this outcome; nevertheless, their influence is usually neglected. While building-specific applications, these may be explicitly considered, it cu...

The development of karst in Karst area leads to poor stability stratum. If earthquake occurs, the will produce destructive disaster. In order improve capacity grassroots region, this study investigates seismic response inter-story isolation structures considering soil-structure interaction (SSI) three-dimensional earthquakes. A model structure incorporating SSI was developed, and one-dimensiona...

This report reviews the soil-structure interaction (SSI) researches relating to three major earthquakes recently occurred in Japan, which include the 1993 Kushiro-oki earthquake, aftershocks of the 1993 Hokkaido-Nansei-oki earthquake and the 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu earthquake. The review work is focussed on the simulation analyses conducted on the basis of simultaneous earthquake records observed ...

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...

The purpose of this paper is to review computational methods in structure-soil-structure interaction. As a result of globalization, buildings are located close to each other. This issue happens especially in big cities, making the study of structure-soil-structure interaction as an essential part of structural design process. The effect of soil medium, on which the building structure stands, es...
