Abstract

Many high rise buildings are under construction or being planned on the reclaimed coastal area around Tokyo and San Francisco bays. These buildings usually have a pile group foundation or a composite foundation, consisting of an exterior wall foundation and internal pile group. Because of bearing or lateral capacity concerns, the behavior of structures built on such foundations is greatly influenced by nonlinear soil-foundation-structure interaction during strong earthquakes. In
cases where liquefiable sand deposits occur in foundation soils, further complications arise during soil-foundation interaction due to pore pressure increases in the saturated sands. An improved understanding of the effects of nonlinear soil-foundation interaction is needed in order to develop improved design methods for these types of foundations. The objectives of this project were to evaluate the ability of nonlinear numerical models to simulate the complex soil-foundation-structure interaction behavior during strong earthquake shaking.
