Concepts of SSI
SSI: The phenomenon in which the response of soil and movement of the
structure influence each other. When external forces, such as earthquakes,
act on these systems, neither structural displacements nor ground
displacements are independent of each other.

Dynamic SSI GTS NX
Based on superposition of events, it separates the problem The soil-structure system is modeled and analyzed in
into two simpler parts. one step directly
1) Free Field Analysis: The reaction / response of the soil Get response with the two simultaneously.
is determined (mainly where the structure will be)
Numerical methods: FEM, FDM
2) Structural Analysis
-The soil can be modeled as spring
damper system (impedance) with that response.
- The detailed structure is designed with the idealization
of soil as independent damper springs.

Direct Method GTS NX
The soil and structure are modeled with finite elements. Constitutive
models are used to simulate soil behavior.
Pros Cons
Numerical models provide a direct solution to More complex and time consuming relative to the
problems of dynamic interaction. (Fully coupled other method.

Requires good software.
Reduces overall simplifications done in
