Abstract: | This paper presents a statistical study of the kinematic soil-foundation-structure interaction effects on the maximum inelastic
deformation demands of structures. Discussed here is the inelastic displacement ratio defined as the maximum inelastic displacement
demands of structures subjected to foundation input motions divide by those of structures subjected to free-field ground motions.
The displacement ratio is computed for a wide period range of elasto-plastic single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems with
various levels of lateral strength ratios and with different sizes of foundations. Seventy-two earthquake ground motions recorded
on firm soil with average shear wave velocities between 180 m/s and 360 m/s are adopted. The effects of period of vibration,
level of lateral yielding strength and dimension of foundations are investigated. The results show that kinematic interaction
will reduce the maximum inelastic displacement demands of structures, especially for systems with short periods of vibration,
and the larger the foundation size the smaller the maximum inelastic displacement becomes. In addition, the inelastic displacement
ratio is nearly not affected by the strength ratio of structures for systems with periods of vibration greater than about
0.3 s and with strength ratios smaller than about 3.0. Expressions obtained from nonlinear regression analyses are also proposed
for estimating the effects of kinematic soil-foundation-structure interaction from the maximum deformation demand of the inelastic
system subjected to free-field ground motions. |
