Brief study on Soil-Structure interaction on the Seismic response of base isolated in High- Rise buildings

Abstract

: In this paper, the interaction between the super-structure and sub-structure is investigated by modelling the soil as simple as possible to capture the overall response of the system. As new analytical hysteresis rules and more advanced tools of analysis have been developed in recentyears, first the nonlinear response of a single-degree-of freedom system which can be representative of a broad range of newly designed structures, is investigated while allowing for flexibility of the soil-foundation system and SSI effects.
