Substructure Design and Soil–Structure Coupling
In this chapter are described some of the key characteristics of seismic ground motion which can affect its behaviour during an earthquake. This, is turn, can affect the response of the superstructure. The need for providing tie beams under certain conditions is stressed. The analytical approach to analysis of retaining walls against lateral loads is explained using the M-O method. An approximate method for preliminary analysis of piles under lateral load is then described. If a structure is supported on soft soil of considerable thickness overlying rock, then the structure and soil interact with one another to influence the behaviour of both. Herein is described a simple practical method to assess the approximate impact of soil–structure coupling on the response of a SDOF structure as well as a MDOF structure where the fundamental mode predominates.
