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 …

The rapid growth of the urban population and associated environmental concerns are
challenging city planners and developers to consider sustainable and cost-efficient building …

Soil–structure interaction (SSI), which characterizes the dynamic interaction between a
structure and its surrounding soil, is of great significance to the seismic assessment of …

Seismic vulnerability and loss analyses of buildings are usually estimated under the fixed-
based condition, omitting the soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects. However, according to …

The soil-structure interaction (SSI) is an integral part of the seismic response of structures.
The knowledge about its effects is based largely on numerical simulations involving …

During severe seismic events, the dynamic response of the structure is affected not only by
the behavior of the superstructure but also by the nature and behavior of the soil present in …

Recently, the interest in research for optimization of viscous dampers in design of buildings
has been increasing. In this study, the effect of soil-structure interaction has been taken into …

Most regional seismic damage assessment (RSDA) methods are based on the rigid-base
assumption to ensure evaluating efficiency, while these practices introduce factual errors …

The spatial variability of soil properties is pervasive, and can affect the propagation of
seismic waves and the dynamic responses of soil–structure interaction (SSI) systems. This …

Bridge structures are vulnerable to severe damage in previous earthquake events.
Meanwhile, the earthquake-induced site liquefaction can significantly affect the seismic …
