CIVE 640 Soil Structure Interaction
The course focuses on the effects of soil-structure interactions (SSI) to understand the realistic response of structures on flexible foundation soils. Characterization of elastic and plastic soil behavior under static and dynamic loads, ground response analysis with linear and nonlinear soil properties, structural influence on ground response, ground deformation by seismic loads are studied. Kinematic and inertial SSI are covered regarding the structural embedment into soils, dynamic structural responses and soil deformations. Numerical modeling of soil-structure systems is studied including visco-elastic halfspace media, Winkler model, and finite element analysis.
