ABSTRACT
Objectives: To study the effect of soil interaction on 33 building frame embedded in the
multilayered soil. Methods/Analysis: A simple three storey three bay framed structure laying on
the pile foundation is analyzed in ANSYS. The effect about soil structure interface on the
displacement of columns in the structural frame is investigated. The investigational results are
connected by means of those obtained on or after the soil structural analysis and the conservative
method of analysis. Soil non-linearity
linearity inside the horizontal direction is performed by means of P-YP
curves. Findings: These curves are developed using Matlock and API(American Petroleum
Institute) equations. And the results shows that the values obtained from SSI for bending moment,
shear force and deflection are more than that of without SSI. Applications: ions: Effect of soil structure
interaction on a building frame embedded in multilayered soil concept can be extended to different
types of piles and number of bays and storeyes can be increased further the analysis can be carried
out for the different typess of soils using ANSYS.
Key words: Soil structure interaction, Building frame, Multilayer soil, Experimental results,
Nonlinearity.

1. INTRODUCTION
Soil-structure interface (SSI) analysis is a very particular field of earthquake engineering.
engineering Generally, most
of the buildings involve some types of structural elements with direct influence on earth.
earth The peripheral
forces like earthquakes result in these systems like structural displacements or ground displacements are
not dependent on each other. The structural response to the earthquake vibrations influenced by the
interaction between the foundations, structure, underneath and surrounding soils of the foundation. The
past investigation reveals that the effect of soil with the structure can be considered relatively. The
interface studies which were earlier discussed,
discussed accepted that resting on replica (model) pile foundation
supported on a plane frame with different rigidity1-2. The building frame is subjected to CCL, UDL, ECL.

 Effect of Soil Interaction on 33 Building Frame Embedded in Multilayered Soil

The end fallouts show that the BM & SF, which were drawn from the experimental examination, showed
large drop with the reduction of rigidity of plinth beam. The explanation for the effect of the rigidity of the
plinth beam on a building frame supported on a group of piles embedded in sandy soils by the result of
static vertical load tests3. The effect of the rigidity of plinth beam on displacements and rotation at the
column base and also shears and bending moments in the building frame were investigated. In the
analytical model, soil nonlinearity in the axial stated that stretchy pile caps laterally with rigidity must be
measured and stiffness matrix of substructure needs to be drawn out by consideration of all the piles in a
single group and also gave the explanation for a single-storeyed and two bayed space frame resting on
group of piles with flexible cap by resorting to more rational approach and realistic assumptions4-6. The
effect of a single pile when it is fixed its reaction over the SSI on the response of super-structure7. Analysis
has been presented on pile foundation (single pile or pile group) and most of the work dealt with the
analysis of a framed construction, which rests on the pile groups, and the explanation intended for SSI and
group piles are exposed to lateral loads by using the P-Y Curve8-11.

2. OBJECTIVES
The main objective of the work is to analyze a framed structure supported on pile group embedded in
multilayered soil considering Soil Structure Interaction (SSI) and compare the same with a structure
analyzed without considering SSI.
1. Deriving the p-y curves as per the soil considered and by using the obtained values analyzing the
structure in ANSYS.
2. Obtain BM, Deflection and SFD for the structure considered and comparing the obtained results with a
structure analyzed with and without considering SSI.

3. METHODOLOGY
Bearing capacity is a major factor to be considered for a structure to withstand on a particular soil. So, my
experimental investigation takes me to identify Structural behavior (Shear force, Bending Moment and
Deflection) on different types of multilayered soils like Clayey soil and Sandy Soil to interact and compare
with non-interaction of soil.

3.1. Derivation of P-Y Curve

P-Y curves for sandy soil and clayey soil are derived using Matlock equations and API equations.

4. RESULTS AND COMPARISON

A graph is plotted between BM, Deflection,
Deflection and SFD of the column for a framed structure embedded with
pile foundation analyzed in ANSYS. An experimental investigation is majorly focused on structural
behavior, therefore, the deflection, bending moment and shear force are evaluated by considering soil and
without soil interaction. From the Figure 4. It is observed that column two and column four obtained more
deflection in interaction and without interaction of soil compared to column one and column three. Column
four has maximum deflection with soil interaction
interaction and column one has minimum deflection without soil
interaction. Hence, the considered frame is more effective
effective in multilayered soils. From the Figure 5. it is
observed that shear force is more effective in all column when interacted with soil compared to non-
interaction. Column four has the maximum shear force with soil interaction and column two has minimum
shear force without soil interaction. Hence, the considered frame is more effective in multilayered soils.
From the Figure 6. it is observed that bending moment has slight decrement from second column and
fourth column and has more bending moment in columns with soil interaction. Therefore, the fourth
column has more shear force and less bending moment. Column two has a maximum bending moment
with soil
oil interaction and column four has minimum bending moment without soil interaction, hence, the
considered frame is more effective in multi-layered
multi soils.

5. CONCLUSIONS
The deflection without considering SSI is 38% more than with considering SSI at column two. The shear
force without considering SSI is 50% more than with considering SSI at column one. The bending moment
without considering SSI is 13.9% more than with considering SSI at column two.
