Review of static soil-framed structure interaction

Abstract

A wide literature review on Static Soil-Structure-Interaction (SSI) is done to highlight the key impacts of soil complexity on structural members of framed structures. Attention is paid to the developed approaches, i.e., conventional and Finite Element Method (FEM), to emphasize on deficiencies and merits of the proposed methods according to their applicability, accuracy and power to model and idealization of the superstructures as well as the soil continuum. Proposed hypothesis are much deeply discussed herein for better understanding which is normally neglected in literature review papers due to the large number of references and limit of space.

Settlement Analysis of Concrete-Walled Buildings Using Soil–Structure Interactions and Finite Element Modeling

“…Eleven of the thirteen were built in landfill sections and two were built in land-cut sections. Figure 2 More recently, foundation measurements [37][38][39] and analyses of soil-structure interaction modelling [40,41] have been investigated. These investigations have often been focused on framed buildings or industrial slabs [42].…”

“…This suggests that considering a constant elastic modulus independent of the stress level may underestimate the settlement, as demonstrated by the typical load-settlement curves obtained from a plate load test that showed a smaller elastic modulus as the transmitted stress increased (see Figure 1). More recently, foundation measurements [37][38][39] and analyses of soil-structure interaction modelling [40,41] have been investigated. These investigations have often been focused on framed buildings or industrial slabs [42].…”

Effects and dynamic behaviour of soil - framed structure interaction

“…In this work, a linear elastic assumption of the soil behaviour is used. Thus, the elastic continuum model can have the physical representation of the soil media [31,32].…”

Soil-Framed Structure Interaction Analysis - A New Interface Element

“…thin-layer interface element, Wang and Wang (2006). A review of various joint elements has been carried out by Dalili S. et al (2013). Desai et al (1984) used isoparametric eight-nodded finite element for interface element with uncoupled normal and shear stiffness and applicable to structural and geological interfaces.…”
