Soil-Structure Interaction
In reality, the response of the soil affects the response of
the structure, and the response of the structure affects the
response of the soil
Soil-Structure Interaction
Two components:
Kinematic interaction
Inertial interaction
Presence of stiff
foundation elements on or
in soil cause foundation
motions to deviate from
free-field motions.
Inertial response of
structure causes base shear
and moments which cause
displacements of foundation
relative to free-field.
Soil-Structure Interaction
Kinematic SSI has three primary causes:
Base slab averaging results from stiffness of foundation
Embedment variation of ground motion with depth
Wave scattering scattering off corners and edges

Conclusions
Conclusions
Physical behavior of deep foundations is complicated
For buildings
kinematic interaction can affect foundation input motions
inertial interaction effects are more significant
For bridges, wharves, etc.
kinematic interaction effects can be very significant
kinematic effects due to permanent deformations can be critical
inertial interaction effects can still be important
For inertial interaction, estimation of stiffness becomes important
single piles resistance mostly flexural
pile groups resistance provided by flexural and axial components
pile cap stiffness can be significant backfill characteristics important
Approximations to actual behavior frequently required requires
communication between structural and geotechnical engineers
