Abstract: This paper proposes a novel probabilistic approach to account for soil-structure interaction (SSI) in the seismic design of building structures. In this approach, an SSI response modification factor, RSSI, is introduced ...

Abstract: This paper revisited the effect of soil–structure interaction (SSI) on the nonlinear response of multistory buildings with a probabilistic approach. In particular, this study showed that the magnitude of SSI effects on the ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a probabilistic metamodeling framework for predicting the joint probability distribution of the interstory drift ratio (IDR) profile of multistory buildings. IDR is an engineering demand parameter that ...
