Abstract

The writers propose a method for taking into account the effect of different types of soils, including artificial ones, on the intensity and spectral composition of seismic vibrations, on the basis of which the design seismic load is determined. The method is based on the finite element method (FEM) and is applicable for investigation of the effect of artificial bases on reactions to the given seismic action. The investigation results can be used for improvement of designs of overground structures under seismic action taking into account the specific soil conditions.
