Abstract
The various methods to perform soil-structure-interaction analysis are classified. The first classification uses as criterion the behavior (linear or nonlinear) of the structure and of the unbounded soil. The second classification distinguishes between the direct method and the substructure method, which do not necessarily lead to identical results. Within each method, however, the various procedures are mathematically equivalent. In the substructure method the dynamic stiffness representing the interaction forces of the unbounded soil is determined based on the boundary element method in the time or frequency domain. In the latter case various so-called realizations in the time domain are distinguished using the extent of the frequency-domain calculations as a criterion.

The various methods to perform soil-structure-interaction analysis are classified. The first classification uses as criterion the behavior (linear or nonlinear) of the structure and of the unbounded soil. The second classification distinguishes between the direct method and the substructure method, which do not necessarily lead to identical results. Within each method, however, the various procedures are mathematically equivalent. In the substructure method the dynamic stiffness representing the interaction forces of the unbounded soil is determined based on the boundary element method in the time or frequency domain. In the latter case various so-called realizations in the time domain are distinguished using the extent of the frequency-domain calculations as a criterion.
