Abstract

This paper deals with the dynamical soil-structure interaction of frame-wall systems. Two types of foundations have been considered and the dynamical behaviour has been compared. Both types, superficial and on pile groups, assume a rigid interface with the structure. The analysis of the dynamical response has been formulated in the frequency domain by using an algorithm already available for frame-wall structures based on the transfer matrix method. The results, obtained with reference to a specific structure, are presented in the form of frequency response functions and a comparison of the peak response is presented for six different foundation
