Introduction
• The ability of the multistorey frames to resist lateral forces depends upon
the rigidity of the beam - column joint. When the connections are fully rigid,
the structure as a whole is capable of resisting lateral forces in any
direction. At each joint, the structural members meeting there bear the share
of the total load acting at that joint in proportion to its relative stiffness.
3
• The effect of compressibility of soil and flexibility of foundation is ignored.
• Such an analysis may be more expensive and may be necessary only for
large and very important structures(like an atomic reactor structure which is
to be crack free).
• Unlike behavior of steel and concrete the soil is extremely non-linear in the
sense that its strength and stiffness behavior depends on stress level.
Hence a good under standing of the material behavior (constitutive model)
of the soil is essential for any numerical analysis of the soil - structure
interaction problems.

Soil-Structure Interaction
• There are many parameters that affect the response of a structure to ground
excitations such as
– shape,
– size and geometry of the structure,
– type of foundation,
– soil characteristics etc .
• When the seismic waves passes on the surface, structural base swings back
and forth, resulting in differential displacements.
• Under gravity loads beams of the frame undergo bending, resulting in
stretching and shortening at various locations. Depending on the severity of
earthquake, the seismically induced bending moment may be of much higher
magnitude than that due to gravity loads.
5
• The load from the superstructure is transferred to the surrounding soil through the
foundation which nominally is a raft or pile or mat.
• The Soil Structure Interaction (SSI) effects refer to the influence of the supporting
soil medium on the behavior of the structure when it is subjected to different types
of loads.
• Soil Structure interaction can be static when the structure is subjected to static
loads and dynamic, when dynamic loads are acting on the structure.
6
• Even though interaction occurs between the structure, foundation and supporting
soil medium for all types of loading, it is more critical in the case of seismic loads.
• Hence the term soil structure interaction has now become acknowledged along with
seismic loads.

A short overview of the Softening Soil model
Features of the model :
12
• Modeling Strain-softening
13
• Soil model with strain softening behavior:
The plastic strain causes a decrease in the yield
stress as shown below. Soils with densely packed
grains are strain softening because disturbance during
sharing causes the grains to move apart causing dilation.
14
• Soil model with Elastic–Perfectly Plastic behavior:
For relatively low-medium risk projects, an
assumption may be made that the stress-strain response
can be represented by two straight lines, to describe an
initial linear elastic stiffness (OA) and the yield stress or
strength at failure during plastic straining (AB).

Objectives
• The aim of this research is to study the interaction effects of soil and structure
foundation system and efficiency of type of foundation with the following
objectives.
– To find out the optimum foundation system for soft clays under soil structure
interaction effects.
– To determine the maximum deformation under modal behavior of RCC Frame with
isolated and pile footings under interaction effects.

relative displacement and maximum total deformation of structure considering the
relative density and frequency relation Peak Ground Motion.

Proposed Methodology
Constitutive Models
• Any assumption other than a linearly elastic model for the soil and
foundation /structural material, would involve unduly large number of
parameters and make such parametric study very difficult.
24
Numerical Techniques
• For the work reported herein ANSYS finite element software has
been used.
25
Checks
• The solutions obtained using numerical methods like FEM are
‘approximate’ ones. The accuracy depends essentially on the mesh
layout in the case of elastic analysis.
• Three dimensional frames with Isolated Footing and Pile foundation
system has been considered for analysis.
• Five storey frame (G+4) of 12m X 16m width and 3 m floor height
was considered for this study.
• Response of the frame such as frequency and deformation,
moments and shears were analysed and compared.
• Mode shapes were found and total deformation for each frequency
was determined.
• The total run time for static analysis was 30 minutes to 1 hour and
for Modal & SRSS analysis was 30 minutes to 45 minutes counting
the run time as approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.

Parameters
• Concrete, Reinforcement and Soil properties were defined in

every column footing junction in rigid frame model.
31
Meshing
Meshing is used to converge all members into number of parts or
volumes called “Elements” to define the parametric shape of all the
members equally such that each and every elements acts in a similar
way of bearing the load/ displacement.
Types of meshing:
1. Defining or diverging the members depending on the number of
parts to be meshed. Any member of any length is divided into
number of desired elements. ( No. of parts are defined as input)
2. Defining the elements based on the desired size of element.
(Element length is defined as input)
32
Contact Region
• In any modelling program, contact region has to be assigned for bonding
between structure and subsurface. Contact region is developed or assigned
by a pair called point and target, whereas point is structure and target is
subsurface (Soil medium).

Discussion On Static Analysis
From the above results, it can be observed that,
• The total deformation of pile footing was grater than that of frame with isolated
footing in both the cases.
• Also Direct stresses and combined stresses has been increased in pile foundation
system compared to isolated footing system in considering SSI effects.
• The shear force, Bending moments was shown no impact due to soil structure
interaction effects.
41
Modal Analysis
• Modal Analysis was conducted on RCC frame for all the cases to study the mode
shapes and deformation occurred with respect to the frequency of the frame.
• First 10 modes were opted to study the behaviour. As the frame members were
modelled as iso-parametric elastic members, stresses and high deformations were
switched off so that the total run time was reduced by 20 hours and it took 45
minutes run time for one cycle

Discussions
• From the graphs and tables, it can be observed that, deformation has been
increasing with increase in frequency.
• From the above tables, it was observed that the frequency of isolated footing
system is greater than that of pile system in both the cases i.e., neglecting and
considering SSI effects.
• The deformation is also proportional and becoming optimal at mid of the analysis.
• The main aim of this modal analysis is to find out the frequency of each mode and
its deformation in total.
• The frequency is used to calculate the time period and its relative dispalcements so
as to perform response spectrum analysis.

Discussion
• Ground Acceleration Vs. Time graph is considered in performing the
response spectral analysis.
• Spectral Dispalcement vs. Time period is considered to estimate the
displacement. Relative displacement values were used as input for SRSS
( Single Point Response Spectrum Analysis).
• In this type of analysis the total frame was assumed as SDOF system as
and then SRSS anlaysis was opted for this study.
• From the above results, The total deformation of pile system under
interaction effects was observed to me naximum of all the cases and the
magnitude was 0.006093 m.
57
CONCLUSION
From the above results, it was concluded that
• The response of the structure changes significantly in the soil-structure-interaction
analysis when compared to the noninteractive analysis.
• The effect of soil- structure interaction on top displacement of the frame is quite
significant. Total deformation is less for the fixed base condition and increases in
the range of 1.89mm to 82 mm when the effect of SSI is taken into consideration
for fixed base and pile foundation system.
• The impact of soil pressure and lateral loads effects the foundation system
increasing in the moments and deformations of the total foundation-frame system.
• The diameter of piles are fixed so that the total deformation in all the case can be
compared clearly.
• Spectral Response (Deformation) is less for the conventional analysis, i.e., fixed
base condition and increases in the range of 193 – 465 % when the effect of SSI is
taken into consideration for fixed base and pile foundation system.
58
• The Normal stresses at the interaction surface between soil and structure decreases
in SSI analysis, when considered for gravity loads only. This is due to coupling of
horizontal displacements between the footing and soil.
