Abstract - The main objective of the study is to investigate
the significance of effect of soil structure interaction on
building with stiffness irregularity. In the present study the
behavior of building with stiffness irregularity is considered.
To address this problem, a Finite Element Method is used to
model soil structure interaction analysis of foundation and
supported framed structures by SAP 2000 V18 software. An
attempt has been made to evaluate the effect of soil structure
interaction on building with stiffness irregularity by
considering the systematic parameters like time period, base
shear, lateral displacement, storey drift. Response spectrum
analysis has been carried out and the parameters like time
period, base shear, roof top displacement and storey drift of
the building frames resting overfoundationandsoilmedia has
been studied.
Key Words: soil structure interaction, vertical irregularity,
stiffness irregularity, response spectrum.
1. INTRODUCTION
An earthquake cause, failure of structure which starts at
points of weakness. Discontinuity in mass, stiffness and
geometry of structure cause weaknesses in structure. The
structures which having such type of discontinuity are
termed as Irregular structures. Building with vertical
irregularities are one of the major reasons of failures of
structures during earthquakes. Structures with soft storey
were the most notable structures which collapsed. Such
effect of vertical irregularities in the seismic performance of
structures becomes very important. Changesin height-wise
stiffness and mass cause the dynamic characteristics of
these buildings different from the regular‘ building. IS 1893
definition of Vertically Irregular structures: The irregularity
in the building structures may be due to irregular
distributions in their mass, strength and stiffness along the
height of building. When such buildings are constructed in
high seismic zones, the analysis and design becomes more
complicated. So the effect of soil structure interaction effect
cosideration is most important parameter.
1.1 Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI)
Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) is phenomena in the
response of structures caused by the flexibility of the
foundation soils, as well as in the response of soils caused by
the presence of structures. Analytic and numerical models
for dynamic analysis typically ignore SSI effects of the
coupled in nature structure foundation-soil system. It has
been recognized that SSI effects may have a significant
impact especially in cases involving heavier structures rest
on soft soil conditions.
1.2 Stiffness Irregular Building
According to IS 1893-2002, A soft storey is one in which the
lateral stiffness is less than 70 percent of that in the storey
above or less than 80 percent of the average lateral stiffness
of the three storeys above
2. OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
Study of soil structure interaction due to seismic load
having vertical irregularity with different types of soils viz.
soft, medium and hard, using software consists of
1. Modeling and analysis of regular building and building
with stiffness irregularity without and with considering
soil structure interaction with different types of soils.
2. Comparison of above responses ofregularbuildingsand
irregular buildings on different types of soils like base
shear, time period, top storey displacement and storey
drift.
3. PROBLEM FORMULATION
For this study, an 11-storey with 5 bays frame (Each bay
span 6 m) and floor height 3.0m, regular in plan is
considered. This building is considered to be situated in
seismic zone ‘iv’ and designed in compliance to the Indian
Code of Practice for Earthquake Resistant Design of
Structures. The buildingismodeledusingsoftwareSAP2000
and analyzed by response spectrum method.. Model is
studied for comparing, base shear, time period, top storey
displacement and storey drift as follow:
Following models are considered for this study.
1) Regular building and
2) Two models with stiffness irregularity having same total
seismic weight, are considered.

Stiffness Irregular Building for Medium Soil Condition
1. Fron chart 1, found that natural period of structure
increases for building with stiffness irregularity. Rate
is higher for model (2) with soft soil, it is increase
43.93% w.r.t regular building with fixed support
condition.
2. From chart 2, found that increase in soil flexibility
causes decrease in base shear. For soft soil base shear
decreases with higher rate. From It is more for model
(2); it decreases 29.05% w.r.t regular building with
fixed support.
3. From chart 3, found that roof displacement is also
observed to be increases for building with stiffness
irregularity. For soft soil roof displacement is higher
than fixed support condition. It is critical for model
(2). It increases up to 38.90 % w. r. t. regular building
with fixed support.
4. From chart 4 to 7 it is found that storey drift is
maximum for model (2). It is increases from fixed
support condition to soft soil condition.Itiscritical for
model (2) with soft soil.
5. CONCLUSION
1. Base shear decreasesfor“stiffnessirregularity”type
building.
2. Time period, top storey displacement and storey
drift increase for building of “stiffness irregularity”
type. This effects are more prominent in soft soil
condition.
