Abstract
En 中文
The paper investigates directionality effects of ground motions in the context of dynamic soil-structure interaction (DSSI) analyses. The problem addressed corresponds to a nonlinear soil deposit, overlaying firm ground, where the input motion was derived from an acceleration time history recorded at a rock outcrop. A simplified procedure is proposed to incorporate directionality effects. The main objective is to identify in advance the incidence angle producing the maximum response of a structure for a given earthquake. Results from the simplified procedure were evaluated by comparison with what is called here the complete rotational approach, where the behaviour of the structure, as a function of the incidence angle of the input motion, is derived through a large number of nonlinear dynamic soil-structure interaction analyses. The obtained results show the importance of considering directionality effects in DSSI analyses. The maximum response of the system was reasonably captured with the simplified approach.
