This study aimed to investigate whether the seismic performance and vulnerability of
reinforced concrete (RC) structures were affected by soil–structure interaction (SSI). A set of …

A series of numerical simulations were carried out on two types of superstructures and six
types of piled raft foundations to investigate the effects of seismic soil–pile–structure …

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 …

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of liquefaction on modal parameters
(frequency and damping) of pile‐supported structures. Four physical models, consisting of …

Fundamental period of vibration is one of the most critical parameters to evaluate in the
seismic design of new buildings, considering its role in the seismic forces estimation. The …

Soil structure interaction (SSI) effects have been extensively studied with advanced
numerical simulations even if these approaches are time consuming and require much effort …

The elongation of the fundamental period of structure is a typical indicator of structural
inelasticity during seismic events and of consequent damage accumulation. This study …

Base Isolation (BI) is a well-known technique that aims to reduce the seismic vulnerability of
structures by increasing the structural deformability and the damping. However, these …

This study investigates the dynamic response of structures and the effect of soil-structure
interaction for flexible structures supported by pile foundations located in non-liquefiable …

Fundamental period of vibration appears to be one of the most critical parameter for the
seismic design of buildings because this period strongly affects the magnitude of seismic …
