Soil-structure interaction in the performance-based seismic design of reinforced-concrete buildings
Juan Sebastián Baquero Mosquera
Abstract:(English) When analyzing structures for seismic design and performance assessment purposes, it has been common to assume that the ground motions or their equivalent representations correspond to that of the free-field characteristics. Implicit in this assumption was the reduced or no understanding of how the behavior of the soil beneath the studied structures modifies their global dynamic response and that of the foundation-level ground itself to a certain extent. While employing the free-field criteria to the… Show more
