ST4015 Performance of Structures With Soil Structure Interaction Syllabus:

ST4015 Performance of Structures With Soil Structure Interaction Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVE:

 To study the concept of soil-structure – interaction in the analysis and design of structures.

UNIT I SOIL-FOUNDATION INTERACTION

Introduction to soil-foundation interaction problems – Soil behaviour – Foundation behaviour Interface behaviour- Scope of soil foundation interaction analysis- soil response models–Elastic continuum- Two parameter elastic models- Elastic-plastic behaviour- Time dependent behaviour.

UNIT II BEAM ON ELASTIC FOUNDATION- SOIL MODELS

Infinite beam – Two-parameters models – Isotropic elastic half space model – Analysis of beams of finite length – combined footings.

UNIT III PLATES ON ELASTIC CONTINUUM

Thin and thick rafts – Analysis of finite plates – Numerical analysis of finite plates.

UNIT IV ANALYSIS OF AXIALLY AND LATERALLY LOADED PILES AND PILE GROUPS

Elastic analysis of single pile – Theoretical solutions for settlement and load distributions – Analysis of pile group – Interaction analysis – Load distribution in groups with rigid cap – Load deflection prediction for laterally loaded piles – Subgrade reaction and elastic analysis – Interaction analysis – Pile-raft system.

UNIT V GROUND-FOUNDATION-STRUCTURE INTERACTION

Effect of structure on ground-foundation interaction – Static and dynamic loads- Contact pressure and its estimation – Estimation of the settlement from the constitutive laws – Free-field response – Kinetic interaction – Inertial interaction

OUTCOMES:

On completion of the course, the student is expected to be able to
CO1 Explain the concept of soil structure interaction.
CO2 Do a static analysis of infinite and finite beams resting on elastic foundation
CO3 Analyse finite thin and thick plates
CO4 Do a static and dynamic analysis of soil structure interaction problems
CO5 Analyze ground foundation and structure interaction problems
