In civil engineering, soil-structure interaction (SSI) refers to the mutual interaction that exists between the ground and the structure it supports. It involves the analysis of the interaction of structures with the ground, focusing on the changes in their behavior due to the interaction. The understanding of SSI is fundamental in the design and analysis of structures, particularly in geotechnical and earthquake engineering.
All structures, from simple residential buildings to complex bridges and skyscrapers, interact with the ground upon which they are built. This interaction can impact the stresses and deformations in the structure and its foundation, which in turn, can affect the stability and performance of the structure.
Soil-structure interaction analysis is a specialized field in structural engineering that deals with the changes in the structural behavior due to this interaction. It is a comprehensive approach that considers the soil and the structure as a single system rather than separate entities, allowing engineers to better anticipate potential issues and design safer, more reliable structures.
This course will help you understand the importance of inclusion of soil-structure interaction in the modeling and design of structures.
