In this study, a simplified three-dimensional calculation model is developed for the dynamic analysis of soil-pile group-supertall building systems excited by wind loads using the substructure method. Wind loads acting on a 300-m building in different wind directions and terrain conditions are obtained from synchronous pressure measurements conducted in a wind tunnel. The effects of soil-structure interaction (SSI) on the first natural frequency, wind-induced static displacement, root mean square (RMS) of displacement, and RMS of acceleration at the top of supertall buildings are analyzed. The findings demonstrate that with decreasing soil shear wave velocity, the first natural frequency decreases and the static displacement, RMS of displacement and RMS of acceleration increase. In addition, as soil material damping decreases, the RMS of displacement and the RMS of acceleration increase.

In this paper, a hybrid boundary element technique is implemented to analyze nonlinear transient pile soil interaction in Gibson type nonhomeogenous soil. Inelastic modeling of soil media is presented by introducing a rational approximation to the continuum with nonlinear interface springs along the piles. Modified $\ddot{O}$zdemir's nonlinear model is implemented and systems of equations are coupled at interfaces for piles and pile groups. Linear beam column finite elements are used to model the piles and the resulting governing equations are solved using an implicit integration scheme. By enforcing displacement equilibrium conditions at each time step, a system of equations is generated which yields the solution. A numerical example is performed to investigate the effects of nonlinearity on the pile soil interaction.

In this study, strength reduction factors and inelastic displacement ratios are investigated for SDOF systems with period range of 0.1-3.0 s considering soil structure interaction for earthquake motions recorded on soft soil. The effect of stiffness degradation on strength reduction factors and inelastic displacement ratios is investigated. The modified-Clough model is used to represent structures that exhibit significant stiffness degradation when subjected to reverse cyclic loading and the elastoplastic model is used to represent non-degrading structures. The effect of negative strain - hardening on the inelastic displacement and strength of structures is also investigated. Soil structure interacting systems are modeled and analyzed with effective period, effective damping and effective ductility values differing from fixed-base case. For inelastic time history analyses, Newmark method for step by step time integration was adapted in an in-house computer program. New equations are proposed for strength reduction factor and inelastic displacement ratio of interacting system as a function of structural period($\tilde{T}$, T) ductility (${\mu}$) and period lengthening ratio ($\tilde{T}$/T).

In this paper, the method for soil-structure interaction analyses in the time domain is proposed. The far field soil region which is the outside of the artificial boundary is modeled by using explicit frequency-dependent two dimensional infinite elements which can include multiple wave components propagating into the unbounded medium. Since the dynamic stiffness matrix of the far field soil region using the proposed infinite elements is obtained explicitly in terms of exciting frequencies and constants in the frequency domain, the matrix can be easily transformed into the displacement unit-impulse response matrix, which corresponds to a convolution integral of it in the time domain. To verify the proposed method for soil-structure interaction analyses in the time domain, the displacement responses due to an impulse load on the surface of a soil layer with the rigid bed rock are compared with those obtained by the method in the frequency domain and those by models with extend finite element meshes. Good agreements have been found between them.

With the increasing possibility of earthquake occurrence, seismic safety of bridges has become one of the most important social issues in Korea. In this study, a nonlinear earthquake response analysis is carried out for a real bridge by incorporating soil-structure interaction and pier nonlinearity. The material nonlinearity of the bridge pier is realized by utilizing SAP2000 whereas the soil-structure interaction is analized in time domain by adapting KIESSI. The numerical results are compared to those of the models without considering the effects.

This paper investigates the optimized parameters of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) for vibration control of high-rise structures including Soil Structure Interaction (SSI). The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) method is employed for optimization. The TMD Mass, damping coefficient and spring stiffness are assumed as the design variables of the controller; and the objective is set as the reduction of both the maximum displacement and acceleration of the building. The time domain analysis based on Newmark method is employed to obtain the displacement, velocity and acceleration of different stories and TMD in response to 6 types of far field earthquakes. The optimized mass, frequency and damping ratio are then formulated for different soil types; and employed for the design of TMD for the 40 and 15 story buildings and 10 different earthquakes, and well results are achieved. This study leads the researchers to the better understanding and designing of TMDs as passive controllers for the mitigation of earthquake oscillations.

The effects of the base-isolation system and elastic soil foundation on the behavior of a liquid storage tank are studied. To evaluate the seismic response of liquid storage tank accurately, the coupled dynamic system considering base isolation and soil interaction problem is formulated in time domain. Results show that the base isolation system reduces effectively the radial displacements, base shears, overturning moments, axial resultant stresses and the hydrodynamic pressure by providing flexibility and energy dissipation capability. Base Isolation may, however, increase the relative liquid sloshing amplitude due to the effect of liquid-structure interaction and cause excessive large relative displacements between structure and foundation. In addition to base-isolator, the dynamic behavior of liquid storage tank is related to the flexibility of base foundation, so the analysis of soil-structure interaction s achieved.

Non-structural elements, such as equipment, are typically affixed to a building's floor or ceiling and move in tandem with the structure during an earthquake. Seismic forces acting upon non-structural elements traverse the ground and the building's structure. Considering this seismic load transmission mechanism, it becomes imperative to account for the interactions between soil, structure, and equipment, establishing seismic design procedures accordingly. In this study, a Soil-Structure-Equipment Interaction (SSEI) model is developed. Through seismic response analysis using this model, how the presence or absence of SSEI impacts equipment behavior is examined. Neglecting the SSEI aspect when assessing equipment responses results in an overly conservative evaluation of its seismic response. This emphasizes the necessity of proposing an analytical model and design methodology that adequately incorporate the interaction effect. Doing so enables the calculation of rational seismic forces and facilitates the seismic design of non-structural elements.

엄밀한 지반-구조물 상호작용 해석을 위해서는 지반에 대한 묘사가 적절히 이루어져야 한다. 그러나 물성이 불연속적이거나 지층의 모양이 복잡할 때에는 유한요소망을 구성하는 것이 어려운데, 그 이유는 유한요소망이 지층의 모양을 정확히 나타내어야하기 때문이다. 이러한 어려움을 극복하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 지층의 불연속선을 따라 요소를 재배열하지 않고 엄밀하게 수치적분이 가능한 방법을 채용하였다. 그 결과로 정렬된 요소망을 그대로 이용하게 되어 강성행렬의 성질이 좋아지며, 해석 또한 신뢰성이 높아지게 되었다. 이 해석 방법을 이용하여 지진응답에 미지는 지층의 영향을 조사하였으며, 결과적으로 복잡하고 불연속적인 물성을 가지는 지층으로 이루어진 지반과 구조물의 상호작용을 해석하는 데에 쉽게 이용 될 수 있음을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 지반말뚝, 말뚝-말뚝캡, 그리고 말뚝-유체간의 상호작용 해석을 수행하여 교각세굴을 고려한 말뚝기초의 거동을 해석하였다. 지반-말뚝의 상호작용은 비선형 하중전이곡선(p-y, t-z, 그리고 q-z 곡선)을, 말뚝-말뚝캡의 상호작용에서는 군말뚝의 배열과 말뚝-말뚝캡 사이의 구속조건을 고려하였다. 말뚝유체의 상호작용은 세굴에 의한 지반의 강성 저하를 고려하여 지반-말뚝의 상호작용에 포함하여 해석하였다. 그 결과 세굴심이 깊어질수록 말뚝에 발생하는 최대 휨모멘트의 값이 증가함을 알 수 있었으며, 이를 바탕으로 세굴에 따른 군말뚝의 안정성 평가에서는 지반-말뚝 및 말뚝-말뚝캡의 상호작용을 고려한 해석을 수행하는 것이 바람직함을 알 수 있었다.
