Probabilistic Seismic Assessment of Structure, Foundation, and Soil Interacting Systems
Seismic vulnerability curves of a highway overcrossing bridge in the Central and Eastern United States (CEUS) are derived employing the aforementioned methods with and without soil-structure interaction. Four different approaches of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) are tried: (a) Abutments and …

Concrete walls founded on earthquake areas
… ground (cantilever), even though in reality, the structures are founded on bedrock or soil bed. In the project, 10 walls are modeled in a structural software program, five squat walls and five slender walls. The walls have different foundations, fixed to the ground (cantilever), founded on bedrock …

The influence of structural details, geotechnical factors and environs on the seismic response of framed structures.
… around the globe directly affect all ranges of structures, from complex and expensive ‘skyscrapers’ to simple frame structures, the latter making up a higher proportion of the number of structures affected as they are a much more common type of structure. The impact of a seismic event can be …

Numerical simulations of site response and seismic settlements at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, Japan
… the free-field site and around the power plant structure components. These total and differential settlements were reported to be the main reasons for water and oil leakage, which eventually led to flooding and fire. This study focuses on three-dimensional, soil-porewater pressure coupled …

Three dimensional behavior of retaining wall systems
… assessment of key three-dimensional (3-D) soil-structure interaction (SSI) features of selected earth retaining walls utilizing the nonlinear finite element method (FEM). These 3-D features are not explicitly incorporated in conventional two-dimensional (2-D) procedures that are commonly …

Seismic response of adjacent structures on dry and saturated sand
Soil-structure interaction (SSI) has been widely studied during the last decades. The influence of the properties of the ground motion, the structure and the soil have been addressed. However, most of the studies in this field consider a stand-alone structure. This assumption is rarely justifiable …

An Investigation into the Seismic Resilience of Shallow Cut-and-Cover Tunnel in Urban Environments
… of shallow-buried tunnels in liquefiable soils is critical for the seismic design of underground infrastructure, particularly in congested urban areas, where interactions with adjacent surface structures further complicate this dynamic soil-structure interaction (SSI). This dissertation …

Modeling the Dynamic Response of Vertical Spent Nuclear Fuel Dry Storage Casks under Three-Dimensional Earthquake Wave Fields
… has emerged as a promising alternative to fossil fuels, offering the potential for reduced carbon emissions and cleaner energy production. However, the long-term management of irradiated nuclear fuels poses a significant challenge. These materials require ongoing heat dissipation and exhibit …

Seismic behaviours of adjacent building structures on liquefied soil
… behaviours of isolated (in consideration of soil-structure-interaction, SSI) and adjacent structures (in consideration of structure-soil-structure interaction, SSSI) with shallow foundations on liquefiable soil. Consideration is given to the influence of foundation types, relative dynamic …

A performance-based design framework for base-isolated buildings against ground-borne vibration
… question being whether or not a building necessitates some form of vibration mitigation. This question is commonly tackled by comprehensive numerical modelling of the source of vibration (train excitation), the propagation path (the ground) and the receiver (the building), allowing interaction …

Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction In Buildings With Oil Dampers
Research into the seismic performance of structures with oil dampers have so far been driven primarily by the structural engineering community, with influential experimental work on the topic originating mainly from large scale shaking table testing of fixed-base prototype frames. Despite …

Determining seismic response of mid-rise building frames considering dynamic soil-structure interaction
Structures are often mounted on layers of soil unless bedrock is very close to the ground surface. Based on the fact that seismic waves pass through kilometres of bedrock and usually less than 100 meters of soil, soil layers play a significant role in assigning the characteristics of the ground …
