What is Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI)?
Think about how buildings interact with the ground during an earthquake.
What is base shear?
Consider the forces acting against a building due to shaking.
What does Soil-Structure Interaction influence?
Consider the effects of ground movement on a building.
True or False: Stiff soils increase structural amplification during an earthquake.
Think about soft versus hard soils.
Design a small structure that is intended to be built on a soft soil site. Outline the design choices you would make to accommodate for SSI.
Think about how flexibility can help mitigate forces.
Assess the repercussions of neglecting the potential impact of SSI when designing a high-rise building.
Consider real-world failures.
