Comparison on Seismic Responses of Different Caisson-Soil Interaction Models of a Single Tower Structure

Abstract:

In order to study the effect of different models on caisson-soil interaction, a linear model and two nonlinear models are established by finite element software SAP2000. It is found that with the increase of amplitude of seismic wave, the effect of nonlinear properties of caisson-soil interaction is increasingly large. The linear model, however, is not suitable any more under such condition, while the nonlinear models can simulate caisson-soil interaction reasonably.
