Soil structure interaction has been the subject of numerous studies. The foundation soil has a definite effect on the performance of structures during seismic excitation. Recent studies show that the effect of soil-structure interaction SSI may be detrimental to the structure during seismic excitation. In this study, the effect of consideration of the soil below foundation and its depth, and the soil modulus of elasticity on the response of structures is investigated. The number of mode shapes considered has an effect on the accuracy of the values of structure response. A structural model consisting of an 8-story reinforced concrete frame resting on raft foundation, and including the soil below the raft is analyzed. The frame is analyzed using SAP2000 software, and time history and modal analysis are carried out with varying values of both soil depth and soil modulus of elasticity. The soil below the foundation is connected to the raft elements by gap links. Gap element links are compression–only members with appropriate stiffness, which are active only in compression. Modal analysis results show that the periods of vibration decrease as the modulus of elasticity of the soil increases. Periods of vibration of the frame without the soil mass consideration are less than those when the soil mass below the raft is considered, and they increase with increased depth of foundation to a certain limit. The structures response in the form of columns shear forces and story displacements are also evaluated under the variable parameters considered.

Current seismic design practice assumes the base of the building to be fixed and does not consider the flexibility of foundation and soil. This assumption is realistic only when the structure is founded on solid rock or when the relative stiffness of the foundation soil compared to the superstructure is high. Whereas, in reality due to natural ability of soil to deform, supporting soil medium modifies the response of the structure during earthquake to some extent. In this work the effect of soil structure interaction on seismic response of building resting on different types of foundation was studied. Present work aims to study the effect of soil structure interaction on seismic response of building resting on fixed base, pile foundation, raft foundation and combined pile-raft foundation. G+9 RCC building is analyzed for earthquake loads considered in zone III by response spectrum method and storey displacement and base shear force of building by considering and without considering SSI effect is found out by using MIDAS GEN software.
