Analysis of Shaking Table Tests of Underground Structures considering the Influence of the Structure-Soil Interface by Feng Shuang Guo, Yun Sheng Wang, Chang Bao Wang, LiJuan Wang

“…The test results showed that under uniform excitation, the dynamic characteristics of the underground structures were greatly affected by the intensity and depth of the seismic waves. (1) When the soil-structure contact was considered, the stress and strain of the structures increased significantly, and the stress-strain value was significantly greater than the stress-strain value of the soil-structure interface in a fully bonded state. (2) There were inconsistencies between the acceleration peak curve of the plexiglass structure considering the contact effect and the acceleration peak curve of the plexiglass structure without considering the contact effect. …”
