TL;DR: In this article, an approach for deciding optimal horizontal extent of soil domain to be used for finite element based numerical dynamic soil structure interaction (SSI) studies is described. But, the approach is not suitable for the case of a building with a 12-storied building frame supported on a pile foundation-soil system.

Abstract: This article describes a novel approach for deciding optimal horizontal extent of soil domain to be used for finite element based numerical dynamic soil structure interaction (SSI) studies. SSI model for a 12 storied building frame, supported on pile foundation-soil system, is developed in the finite element based software framework, OpenSEES. Three different structure-foundation configurations are analyzed under different ground motion characteristics. Lateral extent of soil domain, along with the soil properties, were varied exhaustively for a particular structural configuration. Based on the reduction in the variation of acceleration response at different locations in the SSI system (quantified by normalized root mean square error, NRMSE), the optimum lateral extent of the soil domain is prescribed for various structural widths, soil types and peak ground acceleration levels of ground motion. Compared to the past studies, error estimation analysis shows that the relationships prescribed in the present study are credible and more inclusive of the various factors that influence SSI. These relationships can be readily applied for deciding upon the lateral extent of the soil domain for conducting precise SSI analysis with reduced computational time.

Abstract: A numerical method for the dynamic analysis of infinite continuous systems is developed. The method is applicable to systems for which all exciting forces and geometrical irregularities are confined to a limited region and is applicable to both transient and steady state problems. The infinite system is replaced by a system consisting of a finite region subjected to a boundary condition which simulates an energy absorbing boundary. The resulting systems may be analyzed by the finite element method. Examples applying the method to foundation vibration problems are presented. Good agreement with existing solutions is found and new results for embedded footings are presented.

Abstract: I wish to thank the British Geotechnical Society for the opportunity of visiting London’ again and for the honour of appearing before you in the home of the Institution of Civil Engineers, of which I am so proud to be a member. Several years ago I transmitted some preliminary notes on the topic of earthquake effects on dams to the late Karl Terzaghi, whose invaluable advice and suggestions regarding those notes were freely used in the preparation of this Paper. I wish also to acknowledge the comments and suggestions I have had from time to time concerning the subject from my colleague at the University of Illinois, Dr Ralph B. Peck ; from my associate in several consulting assignments, Dr Laurits Bjerrum ; and from my colleague for several months, while he was visiting the University of Illinois, Dr Tu’. N. Ambraseys. Finally, I should like to acknowledge the assistance on some of the calculations for this lecture that were made by two of my associates at the University of Illinois, Dr John W. Melin, and Mr Mohammad Amin.
