This study investigates the effects of soil-structure interaction (SSI) on a mid-rise building subjected to seismic loads, focusing on two soil conditions: black cotton and loamy soil, using SAP2000 for analysis. Results indicate that loamy soil provides greater stability and lower lateral force impacts compared to black cotton soil, with variations in forces and moments observed between the two types. The findings underscore the necessity of considering SSI in seismic design to enhance structural performance and safety.
