The aim of this paper is to study the effects of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) on the seismic response of coupled wall-frame structures on pile foundations considering the non-linear behaviour of the superstructure. According to the substructure method, the kinematic interaction analysis is performed by means of a numerical procedure obtaining the dynamic impedance functions and the foundati...

Abstract In this essay, the progressive collapse resistance of reinforced concrete wall-frame structures was evaluated with and without considering soil–structure interaction. The vulnerability frames against investigated middle column removal scenario from first story, based on sensitivity index. To evaluate effects interaction, along soil (hard soil) foundation were simultaneously modeled in ...

Design spectrum is known as an essential tool in earthquake engineering for calculation of maximum (design) responses in a structural system. Soil-structure interaction (SSI), as a phenomenon of coupling of responses of a structure and its underlying soil, was explored after introduction of design spectra and has not been taken into account in developing a design spectrum traditionally. To cons...

Railway structures are one of the most important structures in transportation. So the lack of precise study of their dynamic behavior leads to irreparable damages. The significant factors contributing to the accurate analysis of the dynamic behavior of railways are the type of load and foundation used in it. In this study, an Euler-Bernoulli beam subjected to a moving load on a finite depth fou...
