Dynamic Soil Structure Interaction

Course Description

The physical meaning of dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) and the influences of SSI on dynamic behaviors of structure are explained first. Next, Numerical procedures for evaluating SSI analysis for raft and pile foundation are instructed. Finally, the practical seismic design analysis methods are shown incorporating SSI effects.
