Abstract

Tall buildings require additional foundation solutions in order to resist the applied actions on soft soil sites. Nowadays the piled foundations are often altered by stone column solutions, as a cheap alternative. Structures built on soft soil or stiff soil, generally results in different behavior under earthquakes. However, the earthquake behavior of the stone column solution on different types of soil is still unclear. This paper aims to investigate the influence of different characteristics of soil structure interaction on the seismic response of stone column matt foundation. A reinforced concrete matt foundation was simulated with parametric soil stiffness and area replacement ratio of stone column. An analytical method was used to model the soil profile and appropriate ground motion data were incorporated for the analyses. The comparative results were presented and highlighted in terms of soil amplification and seismic response.
