• Simple and efficient approximation of the effects of nonlinear soil behavior on the soil-structure system.• Depending on the type of analysis, nonlinear or equivalent linear, the SSI response can vary significantly. It

is necessary to obtain the correct strain values that are representative of the ground.

Upgrade Contents

Analysis > Analysis Case > Equivalent Linear(Dynamic)

• In actuality, the modelling the real site ground dimensions is not practical in numerical analysis. Only theregions where structure is embedded in the ground needs to be modelled. Due to this assumption,Transmitting Boundary Conditions are applied to remove any of the reflected waves which are generatedfrom the structure.

• In order to consider the influence from body and surface waves, the shear boundary condition can beexpressed as a frequency function with springs and dampers to simulate the horizontal behavior of thesubsoil.

global coordinate system (GCS).• The graph below shows variation of shear stiffness at reference height with a user defined Slope of Friction-

Rel. Disp. Curve (relative displacement – friction curve) parameter being activated. The diagram belowshows the shear stiffness as a function of depth.
