Abstract
Usually in the seismic design of ordinary building, soil structure interaction is neglected and the dynamic response of the structure is evaluated under the assumption of a fixed based response. However during seismic loading the soil undergoes deformations which are imposed to the foundation, the question naturally arises of knowing if the motion in the vicinity of the structure is altered by the presence of the structure and how the structure response is modified by the compliance of the supporting soil. This interaction between the structure and the soil is named soil-structure interaction (SSI). The purpose of this chapter is to illustrate whether and under which conditions SSI is important and what are its consequences on the dynamic response of the structure.
