This study is to investigate the effect of earthquake motions on the response of a three-
dimensional nine storey reinforced concrete structure with and without considering soil-structure
interaction. Numerical modelling of such analysis requires the determination of the nonlinear
properties of each component in the structure, quantified by strength and deformation capacities.
Nine storey RC building asymmetric in plan, height below 45 m, located in seismic zone III
designed as per IS 456:2000 and IS1893:2002 and detailed as per IS13920:1993. Properties of
nonlinear hinge properties are computed as per FEMA-356 and ATC 40 guidelines. Pushover
analysis is carried out in X- and Y- directions using user-defined nonlinear hinge properties. The
analysis has been carried out for the three different cases: (1) Fixed base without considering
soil structure interaction (SSI), (2) Flexible base by considering SSI in hard soil condition, and
(3) Flexible base by considering SSI in soft soil condition. It was found that SSI can affect the
seismic performance of building in terms of seismic force demands and deformations. From
the capacity curve, it is observed that SSI effects are significant for soft soil conditions and
negligible for stiff soil conditions.

INTRODUCTION
Structural failures during Bhuj (2001) and
Sikkim (2011) earthquakes demonstrated the
importance of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI)
effects and its consideration to avoid failure
and ensure safety. The possible bedrock
movements during earthquakes intensify the
dynamic effects of site and changes the
structural response. Thus, the influence of
foundation flexibility is so much important. The
soil-structure interaction is an important issue,
especially for stiff and massive structures
constructed on the relatively soft ground, which
may alter the dynamic characteristics of the
structural response significantly. Past
experiences showed that the soil under
foundation can alter dynamic behavior of
structure. The dynamic response of structures
depends upon soil nature located under
foundation, so neglecting of soil-structure

interaction is unsafe. During an earthquake,
the load and deformation characteristic of the
structural and geotechnical (soil) components
of the foundations of structures can effect, and
in some cases dominate, seismic response
and overall performance. Understanding this
importance structural engineers/researchers
has included the foundation strength and
stiffness in seismic analysis models. The
modelling of soil and structural parts of
foundations inherently accounts the interaction
of soil and structure.
In soil structure interaction the appropriate
modelling of the flux of energy from the soil to
the structure, and then back from the structure
to the soil is accounted and the process is
called SSI. Stewart et al. (1999) indicates that
there is a high correlation between the
lengthening ratio of the structural period due
to the flexibility of the foundation and structure
to soil stiffness ratio. As a general trend when
the structure is stiff and underlying soil is soft
the soil structure effect gets important, on the
other hand as the structural period gets longer
and stiffness of the soil under the structure gets
higher soil structure interaction losses its
importance. The response to earthquake
motion of a structure situated on a deformable
soil differs from structure supported on a rigid
foundation. The ground motion recorded at the
base of the structure differs from the records
without building. The dynamic characteristic
such as vibration modes and frequencies very
much correlate with the induced changes in
dynamic characteristic of soil during seismic
excitation which shows the significance of soil
structure interaction on the response of the
structure to earthquake motion that is
investigated in the present study. Boonyapinyo
et al. (2008) studied the seismic performance
evaluation of reinforced-concrete buildings by
static pushover and nonlinear dynamic
analyses. Evaluated the seismic performance
of building by nonlinear static analyses
(pushover analysis and modal pushover
analysis) and nonlinear time history analysis.
Hayashi et al. (2004) pointed out that the
damage reduction effects by soil-structure
interaction greatly depend on the ground motion
characteristics, number of stories and horizontal
capacity of earthquake resistance of buildings.
They brought out the importance of soil-structure
interaction including nonlinear phenomena such
as base mat uplift to evaluate the earthquake
damage of buildings properly. The main
objective of this paper is to better understand
the soil structure interaction analysis and
performance of a nine- storey RC building
situated in soft soil of seismic zone III. For this
purpose the three-dimensional (3D) frame
structures is analyzed by using SAP 2000 for
three conditions: (1) Fixed base without
considering SSI, (2) Flexible base by
considering SSI in hard soil condition; and (3)
Flexible base by considering SSI in soft soil
condition. Equivalent springs under raft
foundation are used to simulate SSI in this study

range from 3D continuum finite element models
to lumped plasticity concentrated hinge
models. Lumped plasticity models consist of
elastic elements with concentrated plastic
hinges at each end. Concentrated plastic
hinges are represented by rotational springs
with back bone and cyclic deterioration
properties that have been calibrated to results
from experimental studies [FEMA 356]. Plastic
hinge form at the maximum moments regions
of RC members. The accurate assessment of
plastic hinge length is important in relating the
structural level response to member level
response. The length of plastic hinge depends
on many factors: (1) level of axial load (2)
moment gradient, (3) level of shear stress in

longitudinal and transverse reinforcement, (5)
concrete strength, (6) level of confinement and
its effectiveness in potential hinge region. For
the present study length of plastic hinge is
taken as 0.5 H, where H is the depth of cross
section.
Stress Strain Relation for Confined
Concrete
In order to define moment-curvature relation
to simulate the onset of damage, the stress-
strain model of confined concrete and typical
steel stress-strain model with strain hardening
is essential. In this study modified manders
confined concrete model as per CEN
Eurocode 8 is used. A comparison of confined
and unconfined stress-strain relation observed
is shown in Figure 2.
which include distribution of steel including
spacing of longitudinal and lateral steel,
amount of lateral steel, type of anchorage and
grade of concrete. Under estimation of ultimate
curvature may result brittle shear failure even
the members are well detailed for ductile
flexural behavior. In this study, nonlinear static
analyses are carried out using user-defined
plastic hinge properties. Definition of user-
defined hinge properties requires moment-
curvature characteristics of each element. The
obtained moment-curvature behavior of beams
and columns are shown in Figures 3-5.
Figure 2: Comparison of Stress Vs
Strain Relation Of Confined And

Moment Curvature Relationship
The moment curvature relations are essential
to model nonlinear behavior of structure and
members. The ultimate deformation capacity
of a member depends on the ultimate
curvature and the plastic hinge length (Inel et
al., 2006). The conservative estimation of
ultimate curvature depends on several factors

The moment-curvature analyzes are carried
out considering section properties and a
constant axial load on the structural element.
In development of user-defined hinges for
columns, the maximum load due to several
possible combinations considered need to be
given as input in SAP2000. Following, the
calculation of the ultimate curvature capacity
of an element, acceptance criteria are defined
and labelled as IO, LS and CP. The typical
user-defined (moment-curvature) hinge
properties for beams and columns (M2-M3
and PMM hinges in SAP 2000) used for the
analysis are shown in Figures 6 and 7,
respectively. The values of these performance
levels can be obtained from the test results in
the absence of the test data, and the values
recommended by ATC-40. The acceptance
criteria for performance within the damage
control performance range are obtained by
interpolating the acceptance criteria provided
for the IO and the LS structural performance
levels. Acceptance Criteria for performance
within the limited safety structural performance
range are obtained by interpolating the
acceptance criteria provided for the life safety
and the collapse prevention structural
performance levels. A target performance is
defined by a typical value of roof drift, as well
as limiting values of deformation of the
structural elements. To determine whether a
building meets performance objectives,
response quantities from the pushover analysis
should be considered with each of the
performance levels.
Soil Structure Interaction
According to the seismic improvement of
current structure provision, the members of
structure and foundation must be modelled

together in unified model to consider soil-
structure interaction. In this study two
orthogonal springs, a vertical spring and three
rotational springs were used in main direction
of structures to simulate soil structure
interaction. The stiffness of springs are
estimated using Richart and Lysmer model
and incorporated in the analysis.
Foundation Model
Behavior of foundation components and
effects of soil-structure interaction were
investigated. Soil-structure interaction can lead
to modification of building response. Soil
flexibility results in period elongation and
damping increase. The main relevant impacts
are to modify the overall lateral displacement
and to provide additional flexibility at the base
level that may relieve inelastic deformation
demands in the superstructure. In this study,
the stiffness of springs are estimated using
Richart and Lysmer model which can be
represented by a series of 3 translational and
3 rotational springs. The soil is treated as an
isotropic, homogenous and elastic half space
medium. For linear analysis, the unit weight of
soil (), shear wave velocity (Vs) and Poisson
ratio () are the inputs. Two scenarios were
assumed for the soil deposit used in the
present study, namely: Type I corresponding to
Rock or hard soil; Type III corresponding to
soft soil in accordance with the site
classification of the IS 1893(Part 1): 2002. Table
3 lists the properties assigned for these two soil
classes in the current study from the ranges
specified by ATC 40. The study primarily
attempts to see the effect of soil-structure
interaction on buildings resting on different
types of non-cohesive soil, viz., soft and rock.
Richart et al. (1970) idealized the
foundation as a lumped mass supported on
soil which is idealized as frequency
independent springs which he described in
terms of soil parameter dynamic shear
modulus of shear wave velocity of the soil.
Table 3 along with Table 4 shows the different
values of spring as per Richart and Lysmer. In
which, G = dynamic shear modulus of soil and

To examine the dynamic behavior while
considering the effect of soil-structure
interaction, building frames of nine storey was

idealized as 3D space frames using standard
beam element at each node. Slabs at different
storey level were modelled with shell elements
with consideration of adequate thickness. The
storey height of the bui lding frames is
considered as 2.85 m. The gravity loads
assigned to the building was seismic weight
of structural components, including the beams
and columns and the reinforced concrete
slabs. The weight of the non-structural
components (e.g., Brick partitions, Plastering,
floor finishing, etc.) in addition to the live load
are also considered. Since the slabs were not
modelled explicitly, their weight and the live
load they carry were included in the structural
model by distributing its reaction on the
supporting beams.
PUSH OVER ANALYSIS
Amongst the natural hazards, earthquakes
have the potential for causing the greatest
damages. Since earthquake forces are
random in nature and unpredictable, the
engineering tools need to be improved for
analyzing structures under the action of these
forces. Earthquake loads are to be carefully
modelled so as to assess the real behavior of
structure with a clear understanding that
damage is expected but it should be regulated.
In this context pushover analysis which is an
iterative procedure is looked upon as an
alternative for the conventional analysis
procedures. Pushover analysis of multi-story
RCC framed buildings subjected to increasing
lateral forces is carried out until the pre-set
performance level (target displacement) is

reached. The promise of Performance-Based
Seismic Engineering (PBSE) is to produce
structures with predictable seismic
performance.
The recent advent of performance based
design has brought the non linear static push
over analysis procedure to the forefront.
Pushover analysis is a static non linear
procedure in which the magnitude of the
structural loading along the lateral direction of
the structure is incrementally increased in
accordance with a certain pre-defined pattern.
It is generally assumed that the behavior of the
structure is controlled by its fundamental mode
and the predefined pattern is expressed either
in terms of story shear or in terms of
fundamental mode shape. Push over
procedure is gaining popularity during the last
few years as appropriate analytical tools are
now available (SAP-2000, ETABS).
In this study SAP 2000 version 14 is used.
Building is modelled using the materials M30
concrete and Fe500 Steel and assigned all
the beams and columns including with their
reinforcement, all loads (dead load, live load,
and earthquake load) and user defined hinges.
Eight sets of analysis were carried out, for a
combination with and without considering SSI
for hard and soft soil in both X- and Y- direction.
Four different models were created for two
different soil conditions. Figure 8 shows the
building with fixed base model and Figure 9
shows building by considering SSI effect. The
SSI effect are modelled for 1) fixed base and
flexible base for soft soil in X- direction, 2) fixed
base and flexible base for soft soil in Y -
direction, 3) fixed base and flexible base for
hard soil in X- direction, 4) fixed base and
flexible base for hard soil in Y- direction.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In the present study, user defined stress- strain
curve based on CEN Eurocode-8 is adopted
and incorporated in SAP2000. The
percentage variation of stress and strain for
confined concrete is found to be 10-20% and
237-266%, respectively compared to
unconfined concrete.
From the study of moment-curvature
relationship, it is clear that as the area of
reinforcement increases the moment also
increases considerably. If the area of
reinforcement is same, but the area of the
section differs, the moment is high for the
section having greater area. So it is clear that
the moment curvature depends mainly on
percentage of reinforcement and the gross
area of the section. Eight sets of pushover
analysis were carried out, for a combination
of with and without considering SSI effect for
hard and soft soil in both X- and Y- direction. In
general the two cases are studied, case 1-
capacity curve without considering SSI and
case 2 capacity curve with considering SSI.
The observed pushover curves for the nine-
storey RC building with above base condition
were shown in Figures 10-13.

CONCLUSION
Based on analytical studies on nine-storey RC
building frame, the following conclusions are
arrived
The stress-strain relationship is observed
for the material used in the structural

components and a significant variation in
strength and failure, strain is observed for
confined and unconfined concrete.
It is found that the moment-curvature
characteristics of beam and column
elements varies according to the type of
reinforcement and spacing of bars.
The non-linear static analysis was
conducted using the SAP 2000. The results
indicate that the SSI can considerably affect
the seismic response of building founded
on soft soil conditions.
In general, the results showed that SSI
effects are important for buildings founded
on soft ground conditions. However, for firm
ground conditions, its effects can be
neglected.
The deformations of the structural
components of the buildings have also
been affected by the SSI. The deformations
of buildings with flexible bases have shown
a considerable increase that ranged from
10% to about 230% compared to the fixed
base case for buildings found between soil
type I and Soil Type III. This would in turn
increase the lateral deflection of the whole
building. Thus, SSI can have a detrimental
effect on the performance of buildings.
