4. Objective Investigates the effect of SSI on the response of base- isolated buildings Performs parametric study involving the pertinent system parameters

5. Main Content Fig. 1. Base-isolated structure found on soil half-space Soil Half-Space Fig. 2. Analytical model for base isolated structure including soil impedances. Note: All figures and images are adapted form its associated papers

6. Main Content (cont’d) Mathematical derivation of modal properties based on the equivalent 2-DOF system Based on the derivations, perform parametric study

7. Where, V s is soil shear wave velocity; α is a characteristic length of the foundation; ρ is soil density is natural frequency of equivalent 2-DOF system Contribution: SSI effects are significant for relative stiff, squat structures with small mass ratio

8. II. Sensitivity of Seismically Isolated Structures AUTHORS: Ioannis Politopoulos, and Hoan Khac Pham AFFILIATION: Commissariat `a l’Energie Atomique/CEA Saclay, 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, France JOURNAL: EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING AND STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS (2009) vol. 38

9. Objective Study the sensitivity of seismically isolated structures to a small variability with respect to the probability of failure and floor spectra The influence of superstructure nonlinearity is investigated by means of a series of Monte Carlo simulations of simple 2-DOF systems

10. Main Content Note: All figures and images are adapted form its associated papers Nonlinear Behavior of isolation device and superstructure:

11. Contribution: (Modeling) The precise cyclic behavior of the constitutive law is of no importance as far as the probability of failure is concerned. Failure probability for different constitutive laws of the superstructure

12. Conclusion: The nonlinearity of the constitutive law of the superstructure does not have any significant impact on floor spectra of isolated structures

Footings under seismic loading: Analysis and design issues with emphasis on bridge foundations AUTHORS: George Mylonakis, Sissy Nikolaou, George Gazetas AFFILIATION: University of Patras, Rio GR-26500, Greece Mueser Rutledge Consulting Engineers, USA National Technical University, Athens, Greece JOURNAL: Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (2006) vol. 26

14. Objective Thoroughly present seismic analysis and design of spread footings supporting bridge piers: Obtaining the dynamic stiffness of the foundation To provide Simplified expressions for computing kinematic response (both in translation and rotation) Determining the conditions under which foundation–soil compliance must be incorporated in dynamic structural analysis Perform parametric studies on the seismic response of bridge bents on embedded footings

15. Main Content Note: All figures and images are adapted form its associated papers

16. Contributions Procedure of how to obtain Foundation Input Motion (FIM) for a structural system FIM will be smaller than the motion of free-field, resulting from rotational component. And significant for embedded foundations Provide handy formulae and charts to refer dynamic impedances of foundation for a variety of soil conditions and foundation geometries For shallow foundations, the coupling impedances are usually small and can be ignored
