Abstract: In the analysis of structures subjected to earthquake forces, it is usually assumed that the structure is fixed at the base to simplify the mathematical problem. This assumption leads to gross error in assessment of overall response under dynamic loads. The interaction phenomenon is principally affected by the mechanism of energy exchanged between the soil and the structure during an earthquake. In the present investigation, a multi-storied building which is located in Amaravati is chosen as the study area which consists of different types of soil / rock profiles at different locations. Many high rise structures are expected in future in the new city. Earthquake analysis is carried out when similar structure rests on different types of soils and the results of fundamental time periods, base shears and displacements are compared with the results obtained from fixed base condition.

Soil-structure interaction(SSI) analysis is the study of the dynamic response of a structure as influenced by the interaction with the surrounding soil. The SSI response is sensitive to the characteristics of the soil, structures, and ground motion, as well as the depth of embedment. The concept of soil-structure interaction was introduced , and the research methods were discussed. This report presents a synthetic of the body of knowledge contained in SSI literature, which has been distilled into a concise narrative and harmonized under a consistent set of variables and units. Specific techniques are described by which SSI phenomena can be simulated in engineering practice, and recommendations for modeling seismic soil-structure interaction effects on building structures are provided. An attempt was made to summarize the all terms in this area of study.

In this paper, study of the response (base shear, time period, storey drift, storey displacement) of a structure is done for the tall building including basement with fixed base and with pile foundation considering Soil Structure Interaction (SSI). Finite element based program ETABS2016 v16.1.0 is used for the analysis of the superstructure. Seismic analysis is done to get the dynamic response of superstructure for two types of model,one model is with fixed baseand second is Model with Winkler spring for Chhaya Center, Thamel, a high rise building with 14 story including double basements. Itisobserved with the consideration of Soil Structure Interaction (SSI). The soil is replaced by spring and assigned at joints. El Centro earthquake (1940) is used for time history analysis. The response obtained due to SSI effect is compared with fixed based model. Results of analysis presented include the comparison of natural periods, base shears, displacements and overturning moment. It is observed that the natural periods increase and the base shears decrease as the base become more flexible.

A new modified model for assessing the effects of SSI on base-isolated structures is presented from the case of conventional structures. The equations of motion of the equivalent fixed-base 2-DOF system are formulated in frequency domain. Based on this, rigorous and closed-form formulations for fundamental period and composite damping are derived. Finally, analysis of parameters based on frequency independent coefficients in detail is conducted. The analytical model and method presented can serve to assess the effects of SSI in the design of base-isolated structures including high-rise structures. Significant differences between the system with and without radiation damping and the flexibility of supporting soil have been observed in this study. For the results of the analysis, overall SSI effects have been identified as elongation of fundamental period of the system and decreased composite damping, especially for the high-rise and slender isolated structures.

Experiences from past earthquake disasters clearly shows that the ground motion was highly responsible for majority of property and life loss. Excessive damage was occurred to pile supported bridges, towers, chimneys, high rise structures, etc among the collapsed structures. A numerical study is carried out to understand the dynamic soil structure interaction of a high rise structure in a visco elastic half space in the presence of nearby pile supported structures. For understanding the seismic response of group of high rise structures supported on pile foundations a two dimensional study is carried. Framed structures which are assumed from the linear structures of different dynamic characteristics are supported on group of piles. Some studies related to group effect of structures supported on piles are considered like group of two identical structures, group of three identical structures and group of three different structures, secondly the effect of variability in structure height is considered like 5 storey structure, 10 storey structure and 15 storey structure and the third one in which the effect of variability in structure shape is considered. Above all case the effect of structure soil structure interaction on seismic response is compared with fixed base response.

<p>The paper discusses results of shaking table tests on an in-scale high-rise building model. The purpose was to calibrate a dynamic numerical model for multi-hazard analyses to investigate the effects of floor acceleration. Accelerations, because of vibration of non-structural elements, affect both the comfort and safety of people. The research investigates the acceleration effects of both seismic and wind forces on an aeroelastic in-scale model of a multi-story building. The paper discusses the first phase of experiments and gives results of floor accelerations induced by several different base seismic impulses. Structural analyses were first performed on the full-scale prototype to take soil-structure interaction into account. Subsequently the scale model was designed through aeroelastic scale laws. Shaking table experiments were then carried out under different base accelerations. The response of the model and, in particular, amplification of effects from base to top are discussed.</p>

This paper deals with static and dynamic analysis of asymmetric high-rise building. Two alternatives have been analysed – without dilatation and with dilatation. Then, the influence of the dilatation was discussed. The building was located in 4th seismic area in Slovakia (Bratislava). The description of the building, applied load, considered soil-structure interaction, created calculating models, used analysis and obtained results are mentioned here. The conclusions and the photos of defective repairs of real structures are depicted at the end of the paper.
