Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recent evidence from the literature has demonstrated the significant impact of the effects of soil–structure interaction on civil structures and infrastructures. In particular, seismic actions on buried and aboveground systems may significantly affect their vulnerability and thus resilience. In addition, robust approaches are required to address these effects due to the complexity of the interaction. This Special Issue aims to discuss and propose new research on the topic to reach a better understanding and develop designs and methodologies. Papers on the following are particularly welcomed:

  • Seismic effect on civil structures;
  • Seismic response and design of buried structures;
  • Effects of soil liquefaction;
  • Seismic effect of nearby structures;
  • Resilient buried infrastructures;
  • Application of artificial intelligence in the design of resilient civil structures.

Resilience has become an interesting parameter to assess the seismic risk connected with functionality of structures. In this regard, losses due to earthquakes may be significantly reduced by applying isolation at the base of the structures. However, design of isolation needs to consider the effects of soil deformability and all the connected effects of Soil Structure Interaction (SSI). In particular, soil deformability may reduce significantly the benefit of base isolation and thus the computation of resilience needs to consider such conditions. This paper aims to consider the issue by considering several isolated configurations on different soil conditions and for each of them, the seismic resilience has been computed. Numerical simulations have been performed in order to calculate the resilience of the various configurations and then this parameter was chosen a reference for comparing the isolation models on different soil conditions.

Soil structure interaction (SSI) effects have been extensively studied with advanced numerical simulations even if these approaches are time consuming and require much effort to perform. In particular, when SSI models are compared with fixed based ones, two main effects need to be considered: period elongation and damping increase. The paper proposes numerical models to build fixed based models calibrated on these two parameters and perform complex SSI analyses. A new framework that may be used to assess SSI with equivalent fixed-based models is herein presented and validated with non-linear dynamic numerical simulations. Opensees was performed to reproduce non-linear numerical simulations by considering hysteretic materials and advanced soil models. Full article
