NUMERICAL EVALUATION OF GROUNDWATER-LEVEL EFFECTS ON THE SEISMIC RESPONSE OF A MULTISTORY BUILDING–SOIL SYSTEM USING PLAXIS 3D
Groundwater conditions can alter the effective stress state and mass characteristics of foundation soils and thereby influence seismic soil–structure interaction. This study evaluated the effect of groundwater level (GWL) on the seismic response of a multistory building–soil system using three-dimensional finite-elemen...
