Abstract

Response of the ground on which the structure rests will have a bearing on the distribution of forces in the structural members. Conventional method s of structural analysis and design a ssume often fixed bases for various loading conditions. A realistic analysis and design procedure should includ e actual support flexibility, no nlinear and heterogeneous nature of the soil together with nonlinear soil-structure in teraction effects. Such an analysis would resu lt in overall stiffne ss of the soil-foundation-structure system , realistic to the existing conditions. This work focuses on the computational modeling of ground-structure interaction usi ng finite element package ANSYS. To demonstrate the behavior of structure while considering actual nature of ground response , a simple portal frame is analyzed. Portal frame is modeled as linear elastic, whereas the ground is modeled as both linear elastic and non-linear elastic-plastic behavior. The study gives insight into variation of displacement of portal frame while considering linear and non-linear behavior of ground.
