A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A general summary is presented of main results from research into the importance of foundation compliance to response of tall buildings to earthquakes presented at an international conference on the planning and design of tall buildings. The criteria for importance are given in terms of the frequencies of a rigid building rocking, swaying, and twisting on the ground as compared to the fundamental frequency of a building on rigid ground. The criteria are illustrated by computations for a typical building of various heights and founded over various soils. A very still apartment building in Caracas, Venezuela is mentioned as an example of a building for which foundation interaction is quite important.
