Influence of soil–structure interaction on seismic pounding between steel frame buildings considering the effect of infill panels

Abstract

The present research aims to study the influence of the soil-structure interaction (SSI) and existence or absence of masonry infill panels in steel frame structures on the earthquake-induced pounding-involved response of adjacent buildings. The study was further extended to compare the pounding-involved behavior versus the independent behavior of structures without collisions, focusing much on dynamic behavior of single frames. The effect of SSI was analyzed by assuming linear springs and dashpots at the foundation level. The infill panels were modeled using equivalent diagonal compression struts. The steel frames were assumed to have elastic-plastic behavior with 1% linear strain hardening. The dynamic contact approach was utilized to simulate pounding between the adjacent buildings. Nonlinear finite element analysis was performed for two adjacent multi-story structures with four different configurations representing cases that can exist in reality. The seismic response of the studied cases generally emphasized that ignoring the soil flexibility and/or the contribution of the infill panels may significantly alter the response of adjacent structures. This may result in a false expectation of the seismic behavior of buildings exposed to structural pounding under earthquake excitation.
