Survey and Classification of Computational Approaches in Soil-Structure Interaction: Comparison of Time- and Frequency-Domain Analyses

  • Chapter
Book cover Developments in Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 390))

Abstract

The various methods to perform soil-structure-interaction analysis are classified. The first classification uses as criterion the behaviour (linear or nonlinear) of the structure and of the unbounded soil which determines for the analysis either the familiar time domain, the natural choice for a dynamic analysis, or the frequency domain, originally developed for machine foundation calculations. The second classification distinguishes between the direct method and the substructure method, which do not necessarily lead to identical results. Within each method, however, the various procedures are mathematically equivalent. In the substructure method the dynamic stiffness representing the interaction forces of the unbounded soil is determined based on the boundary element method in the time or frequency domain. In the latter case various so-called realizations in the time domain are distinguished using the extent of the frequency-domain calculations as a criterion. The temporal global coupling of the interaction force-displacement relationship can be eliminated with these realizations.
