Experimental Investigation of Effect of Soil Structure Interaction on Buildings
Abstract: In the conventional analysis and design, buildings are generally considered to be fixed at their bases, but in actual practice, the support condition depends on the type of soil on which it is founded. The flexibility of the soil medium allows the movement of soil and foundation, which decreases in the overall stiffness of building frames and results in a subsequent increase in natural periods of the system. Thus, the …
