Modeling soil–foundation–structure interaction

摘要

This paper offers a guided tour through the various ways, used in practice, of accounting for soil–structureninteraction in design and analysis, ranging from a complete analysis of the total combined system ofnfoundation, soil and structure to approximate models of the system. The focus is on three types of structures:nbridges on pile foundations, tall buildings with several levels of underground parking and large basementnslabs with shallow embedment. The paper also reports on preliminary results from the study of seismicnpressures against deep basement walls commissioned by the Structural Engineers Association of BritishnColumbia.
