structure interaction (SSI) and fixed-base (FB) assumptions on seismic behavior in mid-rise
reinforced concrete (RC) buildings located on soft soil. Three–dimensional (3D) high
ductility RC frames 5-, 8-, 10-, 13-, and 15-storey buildings are modeled as a fully nonlinear
frame element. Five different structural cases were created: SSSI models with and without
pounding, FB models with and without pounding, and SSI models. In the scope of this study …
