Abstract
The present study was designed to demonstrate the importance of baseslab 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 casestudy 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.
