The soil structure interaction for 3D irregular problem

Abstract

As we are going through advancements in construction field and the imperatives of reliability requirements of the structure, soil always have an important role as a material that supports the whole structures, the Soil structure interaction is one of the most vital arts, nowadays and with the new technologies of soil testing and as we get closer for a better understanding of soil behaviour, we have the chance to model and anticipate the real behaviour of the structures resting on the soil. In this study, the effect of soil as a supporting material will be revealed and carefully studied to clarify and dye out the importance of Soil structure Interaction, and its effect on the governing efforts that are used in design of the structural elements. Soil structure interaction it is not just about the coupling of the soil and the structure, but also studying the effect of construction phase change between the adjacent buildings. The elastic settlements are going to be calculated using analytical solution, Boussinesq iterative solution, and elastic solution of Abaqus finite element model, then will be coupled as springs that model soil elastic half space (EHS) to check the impact of SSI.
