When a structure supported on shallow foundations is subjected to inertial loading due to
earthquake ground motion, the foundation may undergo sliding, settling and rocking …

To date, a significant research effort has been devoted attempting to introduce novel seismic
protection schemes, taking advantage of mobilization of inelastic foundation response …

Abstract Continuum-based three-dimensional (3D) elasto-plastic finite element (FE)
analyses of piled raft foundations (PRFs) resting on sandy soils and subjected to uniformly …

Soil–structure interaction (SSI) effects on the dynamic response of reinforced concrete (RC)
wall-frame dual system have not adequately been investigated and are usually not …

This paper presents a new practical modeling approach, based on the beam-on-a-nonlinear
Winkler foundation (BNWF) model, to simulate the 3D rocking, vertical and horizontal …

Currently, it is understood that seismic responses of building structures could be changed,
owing to the foundation flexibility. The present study is limited to evaluate such phenomenon …

In this article, performance evaluations of a 3D building strengthened by additional shear-
walls are presented as a case study by considering the foundation effects. Soil-structure …

This paper examines the effects of foundation uplift on the dynamic response of steel frames
supported by shallow foundations. In order to achieve this goal, the dynamic responses of a …

Varios investigadores se han enfocado en la importancia de la flexibilidad de la base de las
estructuras o cimentación y su influencia en las repuestas de la superestructura; puesto que …

Because of difficulty in inspection and retrofit of foundation in comparison with other
elements, the common design philosophy is to avoid any nonlinear deformation in the …
