Seismic Soil Structure interaction for Shear wall structures
For soft soil subjected to earthquake loading, the soil non linearity could significantly amplify the ground motion. This paper presents a 3D numerical study on the influence of soil non linearity on the seismic soil structure interaction for shear wall structures. Numerical simulations are conducted for both elastic and elastoplastic behaviour for the soil. Real ground motions records are used in the study. The analysis is focused on the seismic induced response of the soil and the structure in terms of displacement and velocity. The results show that considering elastic model for the soil behaviour is not sufficient and could significantly affect the seismic induced response of the system
