Hello Captains,stressed,
I am working on soil structure interaction in my thesis
i modeled RC buildings frame ( 5,10,15,20) storeys i want to include the effect of SSI using SAP2000
First i assumed that the base of structures is fixed and use the response spectrum analysis (you can include the...
I used the equations of stiffness foundation which is found in FEMA 356
Kx, Ky,Kz
So i used SAP2000 like this
Assign/joints/springs / i included Kx and so on
Hiii
I am working on soil structure interaction using SAP2000.
First, i made a model included 5 story with fixed end and compute the displacement.
second, i used the same model but i used springs instead of fixed joint and compute the displacement.
is it true to make this to determine the SSI...
