| Abstract | In this study, a three dimensional analysis of a building-foundation
system has been attempted by a finite strip method. The system considered is a shear building on a rigid circular disc footing attached to the surface of an elastic half space. For the reduction of the computational effort, the modal analysis is introduced, in which, the displacement parameters are transformed to normal modes of vibration of the building on a
rigid foundation. The great advantage taken in this approach is that, the dynamic response of the system is primarily due to a first few modes of vibration. The procedure for the analysis is developed and a numerical
example has been presented to show its effectiveness and limitations. |
