Abstract:

THE TERM "SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION" REFERS TO THE GENERAL PHENOMENA INVOLVED IN THE BEHAVIOR OF BURIED STRUCTURES AS A RESULT OF THE PROPERTIES OF BOTH THE STRUCTURE AND THE SURROUNDING MEDIUM IN RESPONSE TO LOADING IMPOSED ON THIS SYSTEM. THIS SUBJECT HAS BEEN OF TECHNICAL INTEREST FOR MANY DECADES, AND SOME OF THE BASIC CONCEPTS AND DESIGN METHODS IN USE TODAY WERE INITIATED IN THE EARLY 1900S. MORE RECENTLY, AS THE COST AND IMPORTANCE OF BURIED STRUCTURES HAVE INCREASED, NEW INFORMATION HAS BEEN ACCUMULATED THROUGH RESEARCH, ANALYSIS, AND TESTING. HOWEVER, MUCH OF THIS KNOWLEDGE HAS STILL TO BE ADAPTED TO DESIGN PRACTICE. THIS PAPER TRACES THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE SUBJECT OF SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION.
