Abstract
The primary goal of this study is to examine the structures built on sloping terrain, which are especially sensitive to earthquakes owing to their irregular design and elevation. Soil–structure interaction (SSI) is often overlooked while studying structures under seismic loads. A summary of the research on the seismic behavior of buildings resting on the sloping ground has been presented. The seismic behavior of structures on sloping terrain is observed to be different from that of other buildings. The influence of slope angle variations for buildings erected on hilly terrain has been investigated in this study, in which both fixed and flexible structure bases (SSI) are taken into account. The findings from this work suggest the criticality related to increasing slope angle, both with and without considering SSI. The significance of taking SSI into account when performing seismic analysis has also been justified.
