When the behaviors of the structures under the earthquake effect are examined, they are assumed as fixed foundation. Since the differentiation of the soil characteristics effects the behavior of the structures, the soil structure interaction should be taken into account in the earthquake analyzes. The main objective of this research is to examine the soil structure interaction. In this research, the masonry structure with two stories constructed from the stone material is handled. In addition to this, the soil is taken into consideration as sand, clay, rock, and fixed support. The masonry structure with two stories and the different soil layers have been modeledthree-dimensionally by with SAP 2000 program. In the scope of research, Kobe ground motion data was applied to the soil-masonry structure systems by using time history method in the analysis.
