Performance-Based Design of Soil-Foundation Interface in Buildings Work with Topic Area Leader Helmut Krawinkler to coordinate foundation modeling activities of PEER researchers Kutter/Gavin (funded separately), Hutchinson/Prishati (funded separately), and Taciroglu. Goal of the work is to have alternative foundation modeling routines implemented into OpenSees that provide reasonable results for benchmark buildings. Specific goals include identifying non-physical parameters used in the SSI models, evaluating the sensitivity of the results to reasonable range of those non-physical parameters, and developing guidelines for users on the selection of those non-physical parameters.
