TL;DR: In this article, the effect of supporting soil on the response of buildings was analyzed and a low-rise (G+ 5 storey) and a high-rise building with and without consideration of soil structure interaction effect was compared.
Abstract: Effect of supporting soil on the response of structure
has been analyzed in the present study. A low rise (G+ 5 storey)
and a high rise (G+12 storey) building has been taken for the
analysis. For both type of buildings, the response of building with
and without consideration of soil structure interaction effect has
been compared.Without interaction case is the case in which ends
of the structure are assumed to be fixed while in interaction case,
structure is assumed to be resting on soil strata (ends are not fix).
Type of supporting soil has been also changed based on modulus
of elasticity of soil (soft, medium and hard soil). STAAD Pro.
2006 software has been used for analysis. It has been observed
that response of G+12 storey building is affected more by soil
structure interaction effect as compared to G+5 storey building.
In case of soft soil the response of both type of buildings are
changed very drastically compared to without interaction case.
While in case of hard soil there is not much difference in response
of buildings compared to without interaction case. Medium soil
is showing intermediate effects.

TL;DR: This case study investigates how the penetration of solar panels and of battery charging stations on large scale affects the voltage quality and loss level in a distribution network servicing a residential area in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
Abstract: The generation by renewables and the loading by electrical vehicle charging imposes severe challenges in the redesign of today's power supply systems. Indeed, accomodating these emerg- ing power sources and sinks requires traditional power systems to evolve from rigid centralized unidirectional architectures to intelligent decentralized entities allowing a bi-directional power flow. In the case study proposed by ENDINET, we investigate how the penetration of solar panels and of battery charging stations on large scale affects the voltage quality and loss level in a distribution network servicing a residential area in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. In our case study we take the average household load during summer and winter into account and consider both a radial and meshed topology of the network. For both topologies our study results in a quantification of the levels of penetration as well as a strategy for electrical vehicle loading strategy that meet the voltage and loss requirements in the network.
TL;DR: In this article, finite element analyses were carried out for 100m and 400m high RC chimneys having piled annular raft and annular-branch foundations considering the flexibility of soil subjected to across-wind load.
Abstract: D finite element (FE) analyses were carried out for 100m and 400m high RC chimneys having piled annular raft and annular raft foundations considering the flexibility of soil subjected to across-wind load. Stiffness of supporting soil and foundation were varied to evaluate the significance of SSI. The integrated chimney- foundation-soil system was analysed by finite element software ANSYS based on direct method of SSI assuming linear elastic material behaviour. FE analyses were carried out for two cases of SSI namely (I) chimney with annular raft foundation and (II) chimney with piled annular raft foundation. The responses in raft such as bending moments and settlements were evaluated for both the cases and compared to those obtained from the conventional method of analysis of annular raft foundation. It is found that the responses in raft depend on the stiffness of the underlying soil and the stiffness of foundation.
