1. Reference problem#

1.1. Geometry#

Software MISS3D uses the frequency coupling method to take into account soil-structure interaction. This method, based on dynamic substructuring, consists in dividing the field of study into three sub-areas:

  • the ground,

  • the foundation,

  • the building.

The floor

The ground corresponds to the 10-horizontal layer profile shown on [Figure 1.1-a] below:

The foundation

The surface foundation of the 2 buildings is represented on the [Figure 1.1-b] below. Two surface models of the foundation complete two skew models of buildings ([Figure 1.1-c] below). To the initial surface model of 128 plate elements representing the base of the double foundation, 320 very thin plate elements are added to represent the side walls of the \(5m\) [Figure 1.1-b] depression. The two configurations of the single-buried building type are juxtaposed, leaving a distance of \(60\mathit{cm}\) between each floor.

The building

The building is modelled in 1D by a skewer model composed of 7 non-heavy beams of 5 types and 4 point masses as shown in [Figure 1.1-c] below:

1.3. Boundary conditions and mechanical loads#

Each of the 2 links between a 1D model and its foundation is achieved by a solid link condition between the foundation and the node common to the building model. This knot is blocked and a solid body movement is imposed on the floor.

We excite the top of the building model in the direction \(Y\), which is the direction of separation between the buildings, with a harmonic loading \(F\mathrm{=}{F}_{o}\mathrm{sin}\alpha t\) whose force module \({F}_{o}\) is \(10\mathit{kN}\) with a pulsation that varies from \(0\) to \(20\mathit{Hz}\) in steps of \(0.1\mathit{Hz}\).

For the buried configuration, the excitation is applied in the following way:
