Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This paper utilizes the Open Application Programming Interface (OAPI) provided by the structural analysis software SAP2000 in order to parametrically perform dynamic analyses to assess the effect of soil deformability on the peak seismic response of base isolated buildings.A number of base isolated buildings with different number of floors, are subjected to a set of strong earthquake excitations and simulated with SAP2000, which interacts, through the OAPI, with a custom-made software developed in Python.The parametric analyses aim to assess the influence of the soil deformability in the computed peak seismic responses, by considering rock, sand and clay as supporting ground, using simplified soil springs to model its deformability, for two different sets of seismic excitations, categorized as near-fault (NF) and Far-Fault (FF) ground motions.
