Base on the studies of soil-underground structure interaction of topography variation, large shaking table model tests are conducted, and test results are analyzed contrastively. By considering the influences of earthquake type, vibration amplitude ,unidirectional or bidirectional inputs etc., natural dynamic characteristics, acceleration response, spectrum characteristics and vibration amplification effect of site soil and underground structure are studied, and soil-underground structure interaction is explored, according to methods of time and frequency domain combined, and comparison of tests no topography variation. Significant conclusions have been got, which can be served as a certain basis and reference for underground structure seismic design with local site of topography variation.

This study states that the effects of soil structure interaction on the Reinforced Concrete (RC) framed structures is directly influenced by the soil properties of the site. Here, one preexisting structure is taken for the study. The building is a hospital building with two underground basements. Taking into account the actual soil condition of building site, this study provides idea on the soil structure interaction on the structure The properties of springs are calculated from different standard penetration test (SPT) values, Poisson’s ratio and elasticity of soil along the depth of the soil. Entire soil-foundation-structure system is modelled and analyzed using spring approach. Static analysis, response spectrum analysis and pushover analysis (PA) are done in order to find the variations in natural periods, base shears and deflections of the structures by incorporating soil flexibility as compared to structures with conventional fixed base. Pushover analysis is done to evaluate the performance of the structure when modelled in fixed base and spring base system.

A three-dimensional finite element analysis of the soil–pile–structure interaction system is presented in this paper. The analysis is based on data from shaking table model tests made in the State Key Laboratory for Disaster Reduction in Civil Engineering, Tongji University, China. The general finite element program ANSYS is used in the analysis. The surface-to-surface contact element is taken into consideration for the nonlinearity state of the soil–pile interface, and an equivalent linear model is used for soil behavior. A comparison of the results of the finite element analysis with the data from the shaking table tests is used to validate the computational model. Furthermore, the reliability of the test result is also verified by the simulation analysis. It shows that separation, closing, and sliding exist between the pile foundation and the soil. The distribution of the amplitude of strains in the pile, the amplitude of contact pressure, and the amplitude of sliding at the soil–pile interface are also discussed in detail in this paper.Key words: soil–pile–structure interaction, shaking table model test, computer simulation, ANSYS program.

Underground subway RC structures suffered significant damage during many earthquakes, so it is important to study the seismic behavior on RC subway structure. The shaking table model test is made of the Beijing typical subway station structure. In this article, the test is introduced briefly; then, the acceleration history curves are analyzed. By the test, it is found that the interaction exits between structure and soil. Under the low intensity earthquake, the underground structure will exert a very small influence on soil and vibrates with soil; under the high intensity earthquake, the soil will exert a large thrust on the underground structure and the relative displacement exists between them. Moreover, At the bottom of the structure side wall, the peak acceleration is larger than it in soil around the place, and at the top and middle of the structure side wall, the peak accelerations are smaller than them in soil around the place; with the depth increase, decrease the peak value, the excellence frequency and its amplitude of the acceleration time history.

Standing 250m above the ground level, the tower employs a complicated modern tall building system that involves the use of a reinforced core, two strengthened trusses and eight composite (concrete encased steel) mega-columns in the exterior perimeter of the building to resist vertical and lateral loads. A shaking table model test was carried out according to owner’s commission due to its complexity and the requirement of the Chinese Design Codes. In this paper, test equipments and test results were analyzed and some conclusions were given. The method applied in this model test will be helpful to other similar experimental studies.
