Talk Title: OUT-OF-PLANE (SH) SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION SEMI-CIRCULAR FLEXIBLE RIGID FOUNDATION
Abstract: Presentation by: Thang Le
The model studied presents a logical extension of the shear wall with circular rigid foundation fixed firmly in an isotropic homogeneous and elastic half-space considered only for vertical-incidence SH waves by J.E. Luco (1969) and then formulated to any angle of the incidence SH waves by M.D Trifunac (1972). A new approach and model is developed to solve for rigid foundation using big arc approximation which can be extended to solve for flexible or semi-rigid foundation. The analytical expression of the soil-structure interaction of a tapered shear wall (structure) and an isotropic homogeneous and elastic half-space is obtained. Results of the numerical analysis are then compared with Trifunac (1972).
