The document discusses soil-structure interaction, focusing on the mechanical models, mathematical models, and numerical models used to analyze the interaction between structural elements and deformable elastic media. It highlights the importance of understanding soil behavior, interface conditions, and the need for rational foundation design that considers both soil deformational characteristics and foundation flexibility. Additionally, it emphasizes the complexities involved in modeling soil due to its heterogeneous and anisotropic nature.

SOIL STRUCTURE

INTERACTION

Dr. S. Konai
Assistant Professor
Civil Engineering Department, NIT Durgapur
Soil – Structure Interaction
Interaction between structural element like beams, plates of finite or infinite
extent resting on isolated linear or non-linear deformable elastic media.

The elastic media is represented by


 A mechanical model
 A mathematical model
 A numerical model
Determination of modulus of subgrade reaction
 By conducting plate load test in the field
 Ratiobetween the subgrade reactive pressure (q) at a point
immediately below a loaded foundation and the settlement of the point
(y).

INTRODUCTION TO SOIL-STRUCTURE
INTERACTION PROBLEMS
(a) Interaction between elastic bodies
• contact region may be smooth or may have friction.
• contact region may be advancing, receding or stationary.
(b) Interaction between an elastic medium and a rigid body
• Interaction problems in which the shape of the contact region is known
and remains constant for all magnitudes of the force applied to the rigid
body.
(c) Interaction between elastic bodies and structural elements
• Interaction problem between elastic bodies, in which the mechanical
behaviour of one of the media is represented in terms of the behaviour of
a structural element such as a beam, plate or shell.
SOIL BEHAVIOR
 Mechanical response of soil can be influenced by a various factors such as (i)
shape, size and mechanical properties of soil particles, (ii) configuration of the
soil structure, (iii) inter granular stresses and stress history, and (iv) presence of
soil moisture, degree of saturation and permeability.
 Simplest type of idealized soil response assumes linear elastic behaviour of the
supporting soil medium.
 The two parameter models for elastic soil can be regarded as the two extreme
cases of soil behaviour, represented on completely dis-continuous medium and
completely continuous elastic solid.
 In the conventional design of footings, the soil pressure is assumed to be uniform
or linearly varying depending upon whether the foundation supports symmetric or
eccentric loading.

INTERFACE BEHAVIOR
 Conditions to relate the mechanical behaviour of the soil- foundation interface.
 Several assumptions can be made with regard to the interface condition
between a foundation and the underlying soil medium.
 Presence of pore water pressures can alter the magnitude and distribution of
the frictional forces throughout the consolidation process.
 Frictionless interfaces are only capable of sustaining compressive surface
tractions (i.e. the contact is tensionless or unilateral).
 Frictionlessinterface assumption can only serve as a useful first
approximation.
SCOPE OF SOIL FOUNDATION INTERACTION
ANALYSIS

 A rational approach to the design of foundations resting on


soil media should take into account both the deformational
characteristics of the soil medium and the flexibility of the
foundation.
 Conventional structural design of footings based on rigid
foundation behaviour and uniform/planar/parabolic
distributions of contact stress and ignoring the deformational
characteristics of the soil and the flexural properties of the
foundation.
MODELING SOIL STRUCTURE INTERACTION

 It is generally observed that the modeling of the superstructure and


foundation are rather simpler and straight forward than that of the soil
medium underneath.
 However, soil is having very complex characteristics, since it is
heterogeneous, anisotropic and nonlinearity in force–displacement
characteristics.
 The presence of fluctuation of water table further adds to its complexity.
