Abstract

The objective of the present study is to investigate the importance of soil-structure interaction effects on the seismic response of a high-rise irregular reinforced-concrete residential building. In order to conduct this research, a detailed three-dimensional structure model was subjected to various earthquake excitations, also including a strong mining tremor. Soil-foundation flexibility was represented using the spring-based solutions, incorporating foundation springs and dashpots. For each soil type analyzed in this study, the foundation stiffness was calculated using the static stiffness, embedment correction factors, and dynamic stiffness modifiers. The influence of diverse soil conditions (represented by their average effective profile velocities and shear moduli) on the dynamic characteristics (e.g. fundamental vibration period) and seismic response (e.g. peak lateral accelerations) of the structure model was investigated and discussed. The numerical analysis results clearly demonstrate that the seismic performance of the building to the strong earthquake shaking can be significantly affected by the soil-structure interaction effects.
