“…However, the construction cost of plie foundations is also much higher than the shallow foundations. In view of this, Xu and Fatahi [44] proposed a geosynthetic reinforced composite soil (GRCS) foundation system to address the issues of residual structural drift or permanent foundation settlement under MCE level of shaking for seismic protection of midrise buildings supported by a shallow foundation, where the effects of geosynthetics on the seismic response of the buildings considering SSI have also been investigated. e accuracy and efficiency have been verified by the three famous engineering cases, and this method provides a reference for engineers in improving the structural safety of buildings using shallow foundations and saving construction costs.…”

“…Experimental and numerical studies performed on this method have shown that the seismic performance of low and medium-height buildings improved significantly with geosynthetic layers created in different configurations [11][12][13]. The method of improving the earthquake performance of soils with geosynthetics has been used not only under the foundation of superstructures but also for strengthening earth retaining structures [12,14]. Furthermore, researches were carried out on the use of geosynthetics in sloped soils and conducted numerical studies were conducted [15,16].…”

“…4, for a damping ratio of 5% between the periods of T = 0.05 s and 3 s. Moreover, non-linear time history analyses were used to simulate the earthquake loadings. Rayleigh's mass and proportional stiffness damping was used with a 5% damping ratio for the first three fundamental periods of the bridges [18], [19].…”
