An evaluation of the response of a fourteen story reinforced concrete building to the 1 October 1987 Whittier earthquake and 4 October 1987 aftershock shows significant effects of soil-structure interaction. A mathematical model of the building-foundation-soil system provides response quantities not directly available from the records. The model is calibrated using the dynamic properties of the building as determined from the processed strong motion records. Soil-structure interaction reduces the base shear force in the longitudinal direction of the building compared with the typical assumption in which interaction is neglected. The reduction in base shear for this building and earthquake is approximately represented by proposed building code provisions for soil-structure interaction.

The design of steel jacket fixed offshore structures in zones of moderate seismicity is typically governed by Metocean loads. In contrast the steel gravity structure (SGS) presented in this paper, is a heavy and stiff structure. The large mass results in foundation forces from seismic events that may exceed those created by extreme cyclonic storm events. When computing the earthquake response of such structures it is essential to account for soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects. Seismic SSI analysis of the SGS platform was performed using state-of-the-art SSI software, which analyzed a detailed three-dimensional model of the SGS supported on layered soil system. The results of this analysis were then compared with those using industry standard impedance methods whereby the layered soil is replaced by equivalent foundation springs (K) and damping (C). Differences in calculated results resulting from the different ways by which K and C are implemented in different software are presented. The base shear, overturning moment, critical member forces and maximum accelerations were compared for each of the analysis methods. SSI resulted in significant reduction in seismic demands. While it was possible to get reasonable alignment using the different standard industry analysis methods, this was only possible after calibrating the KC foundation model with software that rigorously implements SSI effects. Lessons learned and recommendations for the various methods of analysis are summarized in the paper.

Finite element models, established using ANSYS, given the soil - structure interaction phenomena produced at the interface between the reinforced concrete structure and the soil, have been used to perform a parametric study of the strengthening design of the foundation and the sluice chamber within mining subsidence area. High pressure jet grouting pile is adopted to reinforce the foundation, this analysis model is simplified by the transformation from the pile foundation to the solid foundation, which reflects the characteristic of pile foundation. The strengthening design of the sluice chamber is a renovation from open style to frame, to increase the integral property. It is indicated that, using high pressure jet grouting pile to reinforce the foundation can apparently improve the stability of sluice in mining area. Nevertheless, it can't improve the stability of sluice through reinforcing the sluice chamber.
