Abstract

     The present paper investigates the effect of soil-structure interaction on the seismic behavior of base-isolated frames under near and far-fault earthquakes. For this purpose, the nonlinear time history results of 1, 4 and 8-story base-isolated frames are compared with corresponding fixed base ones. ABAQUS finite element software is used for numerical modeling on which time history analyzes are performed.
