STATIC USING RESPONSE OF FRAMED STRUCTURE THE EFFECT OF SOIL STRUCTURE INTERACTION

Abstract

The Soil-Structure interaction is a very important phenomenon which is principally affected by the mechanism of energy exchange between the soil and structure and its primary influence is to modify the static response of the interaction system in terms of deformation, stress and strain. Superstructure-raft-soil interaction represents an integrated system. However, this complex problem is always analysed in separated parts. The static response of the structure-raft-soil interaction is influenced by the properties of soil media. The interrelationship between the response of a structure and characteristics of soil media is termed as interaction effect. The study, include the determination of the effects of soil structure interaction of framed structure for varying soil conditions. ANSYS 9.0 software has been used for 2D static linear analysis of the structure on different types of soil continuum. The soil continuum and raft foundation is modelled as 4-noded 182 element and superstructure...
