Parametric Studies of Buildings with Various Support Types

The seismic design of buildings is performed based on dynamic analyses by considering fixed-base supports. Due to differences in the seismic responses of rigidly and elastically-supported buildings, it is essential to study the impact of the elastic behavior of soil on overall building design. This study will investigate the structural behavior of rigid basement walls with various support conditions.
