Abstract
The response of buried long structures to waves traveling in the longitudinal direction of the structures was studied. The structures and the surrounding soils were represented by three-dimensional finite elements. The three-dimensional models, however, were reduced to two-dimensional models by using a special type of wave-transmitting element which faithfully accounts for the effects of wave propagation. The results obtained for a linear system indicate that, for large structures, soil-structure interaction effects on the computed stresses and strains are indeed significant; therefore, it will be overly conservative to use free field strains in the design. Also, the assumption of vertically propagating waves is not adequate in predicting response; therefore, appropriate considerations should be given to traveling waves.
