It is conventional to assume that the role of the soil-structure interaction (SSI) is beneficial to
the buildings under seismic loading. However, lessons learned from recent earthquakes …

Pile foundations are usually used to transmit foundation loads through soil strata of low
bearing capacity to deeper soil or rock strata with a higher bearing capacity and stiffness …

This paper explores the effectiveness of a new approach to foundation seismic design.
Instead of the present practice of over‐design, the foundations are intentionally under …

This study aims to investigate the effects of structure-soil-structure interaction (SSSI), soil-
structure interaction (SSI) and fixed-base (FB) assumptions on seismic behavior in mid-rise …

A fully nonlinear finite-element (FE) model is developed to investigate the impact of
hysteretic and viscous material behavior on the downhole motion recorded by an array at a …

Seismic pounding occurs when the separation gap between buildings and structures is not
wide enough, particularly during major earthquake events; this can cause them to collide …

Shallow footings are one of the most common types of foundations used to support mid-rise
buildings in high risk seismic zones. Recent findings have revealed that the dynamic …

A total stress-based bounding surface plasticity model for clays is developed to
accommodate multiaxial stress reversals. The model is constructed based on the idea of a …

A new paradigm has now emerged in performance-based seismic design of soil–foundation–
structure systems. Instead of imposing strict safety limits on forces and moments transmitted …

Adopting the most accurate and realistic modelling technique and computation method for
treatment of dynamic soil–structure interaction (SSI) effects in seismic analysis and design of …
