Review, classification, and extension of classical soil-structure interaction models based on different superstructures and soils

Seismic Assessment of Large-Span Spatial Structures Considering Soil–Structure Interaction (SSI): A State-of-the-Art Review

“…In extending the elastic foundation formulas, Jemielita [46] synthesized monomial multiparameter formulas into differential formulas for multiple parameters and introduced the n Shear layer-Bending layer-Spring layer (n SBS-layers) concept, where each layer is composed of three sub-layers: the shear layer, bending layer, and spring layer. Expanding on the SBS differential formula, Zhao et al [47] proposed model types tailored to various superstructures along with their mechanical parameters. Additionally, by integrating the Terzaghi model addressing seepage consolidation, they asserted that the Winkler-Terzaghi model effectively addressed the challenge of soil discontinuity.…”

Geoelectrical and Geotechnical Investigations for Development of Superstructures at Nkpologwu Proposed Judiciary Site, Anambra Basin, Southeastern Nigeria

“…The understanding of swelling and shrinkage characteristics of soils is very important in solving engineering problems commonly associated with the construction of buildings, dams and high ways [4]. Hence, site investigations are usually conducted to determine the physical properties of the soil at the particular location and ascertain their ability to support superstructures emplaced on them [5]. Geoelectrical resistivity technique has been affirmed to be very efficient and applicable in various contexts such as groundwater exploration, engineering site investigations, agronomy, and determination of compaction and soil horizon thickness, archaeological prospecting, assessment of soil hydrological properties and foundation stability assessment [6,7].…”
