2011 APR 20 - (VerticalNews.com) -- According to a study from Uttar Pradesh,rnIndia, "Nonlinear behavior at the soil-foundation interface due to mobilization of the ultimaterncapacity and the associated energy dissipation, particularly in an intense earthquake event, mayrnbe utilized to reduce the force and ductility demands of a structure, provided that the potentialrnconsequences such as excessive settlement are tackled carefully. This study focuses on modelingrnthis nonlinear soil-structure interaction behavior through a beam-on-nonlinear-Winklerfoundationrn(BNWF) approach."
