To study soil-structure interaction (SSI) and create an exact computer model of soils, geotechnical and geological studies are necessary. Since these investigations are neglected for most projects for various reasons, engineers use the fixed base concept to analyze the structures. This study examines the accuracy and effect of fixed-base concept on the dynamic responses of steel structures. For this purpose, the dynamic responses in terms of base shear and top displacement of a four-story steel structure were studied by using SAP2000 finite element software.The structure rested on a big soil medium that was numerically modelled in a full 3D manner using solid finite elements, four different soil profiles in well-known seismic codes were defined (Rock, Very dense, Stiff and Soft soils). Provided information in the codes and the equations of the literature were utilized for numerical modeling. After performing finite element analysis, a comparison was made between the dynamic responses of the fixed base structure with structures rested on different types of the soil profile. According to the results of the analysis, it was observed that the base shear and the top displacement of the fixed base structure are almost the same with the structure resting on the rocky soil, but underestimated comparing to remaining soil profiles.
