About the Opportunity
This webinar offers a detailed exploration of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) and its crucial role in assessing the seismic response of buildings with pile foundations. Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) is the process in which the response of the soil influences the motion of the structure and the motion of the structure influences the response of the soil1. SSI is primarily an exchange of mutual stress, whereby the movement of the ground-structure system is influenced by both the type of ground and the type of structure1. Conventional structural design methods often neglect SSI effects, which is acceptable for light structures on stiff soil1. However, for heavy structures on relatively soft soils, such as nuclear power plants or high-rise buildings, the effect of SSI becomes prominent1.
