Influence of Soil Structure Interaction on Seismic Performance of Steel Structure Interaction with Different Types of Foundations and Soil

Soil Structure Interaction is the reaction of soil that influence the motion of the structure. During serve seismic events, the dynamic response of the structure is affected not only by the behavior of the superstructure but also by the nature and behavior of the soil present in and around the substructure. The steel structure design process usually assumes the base of the foundation to be completely restrained in a fixed base condition. In the present project the influence of soil structure interaction on the seismic performance of a steel space frame on different soil has been investigated. The multi-story steel building (G+7) with column to column spacing distance 5m and six number of columns having both X and Y direction of the structure, is designed to withstand self-weight and seismic loads. The study also examined the impact of earthquake loading on the steel structure with soil structure interaction using Response Spectrum Method and Time History Method for seismic zone III, with forces determined using IS 1893 (Part-3):2015. The study measured the displacement of steel structure with influences of soil under seismic forces. Comparison of seismic performance like maximum storey displacement, maximum storey drift and base shear along with soil structure interaction under different types of soil are presented in this project. This paper discusses the influences of the soil structure interaction on steel structure with various configuration and different types of foundations and soil.
