Interface Model for Dynamic Soil‐Structure Interaction
Publication: Journal of Geotechnical Engineering
Volume 110, Issue 9
Abstract
A simple thin‐layer element is developed and used in a finite element procedure for simulation of various modes of deformanon in dynamic soil‐structure interaction. The constitutive behavior of the interface is defined by decomposing it into its normal and shear components. The soil is modeled as an elastic‐plastic hardening material. The numerical procedure is used to predict behavior of a model structure tested in the field, and the influence of interface behavior on displacements, velocities, and accelerations is delineated.
