A design-oriented numerical investigation seismic soil-structure interaction

Presented here is the numerical investigation on seismic soil-structure interaction applying features of a rather non-conventional earthquake design. The examination focuses on the Groningen site conditions which lately experienced an induced-type of earthquake. A unique situation calls for a suitable seismic design for both existing and new buildings. Instead of adopting the conventional capacity design, the current paper explores a novel dynamic approach which gains traction within the research community. For validation and veri?cation purposes, the thesis invokes the scientifc literature findings of situations which resemble to the Groningen circumstances.Civil Engineering and GeosciencesGeoscience & Enginerin
