Dynamic soil-structure interaction analyses considering directionality effects
Abstract The paper investigates directionality effects of ground motions in the context of dynamic soil-structure interaction (DSSI) analyses. The problem addressed corresponds to a nonlinear soil deposit, overlaying firm ground, where the input motion was derived from an acceleration time history recorded at a rock outcrop. A simplified procedure is proposed to incorporate directionality effects. The main objective is to identify in advance the incidence angle producing the maximum response of a structure for a given earthquake. Results from the simplified procedure were evaluated by comparison with what is called here the complete rotational approach, where the behaviour of the structure, as a function of the incidence angle of the input motion, is derived through a large number of nonlinear dynamic soil-structure interaction analyses. The obtained results show the importance of considering directionality effects in DSSI analyses. The maximum response of the system was reasonably captured with the simplified approach.
Highlights Directionality effects of ground motions in dynamic soil-structure interaction analyses were investigated. A simplified rotational approach (SRA) is proposed to incorporate these effects. Results from the SRA were compared with the complete rotational procedure. The SRA, using the PGV as intensity measure, appears to be an adequate alternative to account for directionality.
