Evaluation of foundation input motions based on kinematic interaction models

Abstract

The present study was designed to demonstrate the importance of base-slab averaging and embedment effects on the foundation-level input motions due to earthquake excitations. Evaluation of foundation-level input motions based on the most commonly adopted kinematic interaction models are presented. In order to conduct this investigation, original records of horizontal accelerations for two case-study buildings were utilized. Computed foundation-level input motions, in both NS and EW directions, were compared to the actual acceleration-time histories recorded at the foundation levels. The results clearly indicate that incorporating base-slab averaging and embedment effects in seismic analyses can modify the dynamic excitation imposed at the foundation level, and, as a consequence, lead to more accurate structural response due to earthquake ground motions.
