Soil-Structure Interaction Effects On The Seismic Response Of Low-Rise Eccentrically Braced Frames, Luis Gerardo Buitrago Goyez
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The importance of soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects on the seismic response of
buildings has been long recognized and has been researched for over 40 years. However, SSI
analysis has only been applied in a few building projects because the fixed base condition is
considered to provide a conservative estimation for the response of buildings under seismic loads.
This assumption of a fixed base condition adopted by practitioners is not always conservative or
cost-effective, especially for rigid buildings over soft soils. Additionally, for the case of ductile
steel frames with eccentric configurations, the influence of SSI on their seismic performance has …
