Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to identify and discuss the subject of the effect of interface behavior on the overall soil-structure interaction in building foundation systems. A brief review of the previous approaches based on the assumption of compatibility between the structure and soil is followed by a discussion of the recent efforts toward inclusion of relative slip, debonding and rebonding at interfaces. Here available models in the context of the lumped parameter and finite element approaches are reviewed. A number of models used in static and dynamic analyses are presented, and the difficulties associated with those based on relative displacement, particularly in relation to the (arbitrary) choices of normal and shear stiffness, are discussed. Some ideas toward a simple but potentially promising model based on the use of thin element of soil (or structural medium) as interface is presented. The importance of appropriate laboratory tests is established and is followed by a review of available laboratory test devices for static and dynamic interfaces. Finally, a brief description of a new multi-degree-of-freedom device including testing of interface under vertical, horizontal, torsional and rocking modes is described together with preliminary test results.
