Seismic design of new structures, as well as retrofitting and/or improving of existing ones basically depend on local site effects and the dynamic interaction between the foundation soil and the structure. The accurate investigation on the structure and the surrounding soil is the first fundamental step for a realistic evaluation of the seismic performance of the coupled soil-structure system. The present paper deals with the dynamic behavior of a coupled soil-structure system, i.e. a school building in Catania, characterized by a high seismic hazard (Caruso et al., 2016; Castelli et al., 2016), highlighting the important role of the soil non-linearity.

Abstract
Seismic design of new structures, as well as retrofitting and/or improving of existing ones basically depend on local site effects and the dynamic interaction between the foundation soil and the structure. The accurate investigation on the structure and the surrounding soil is the first fundamental step for a realistic evaluation of the seismic performance of the coupled soil-structure system. The present paper deals with the dynamic behavior of a coupled soil-structure system, i.e. a school building in Catania, characterized by a high seismic hazard (Caruso et al., 2016; Castelli et al., 2016), highlighting the important role of the soil non-linearity.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
