The document is a presentation by Prof. Samirsinh P. Parmar on soil-structure interaction (SSI) in geotechnical engineering, focusing on the problems and analysis methods related to structures during earthquakes. It explores various effects of SSI on structural dynamics, including inertial and kinematic interactions, and details methods for analyzing these interactions through finite element methods (FEM) and boundary element methods (BEM). Additionally, it covers lumped parameter models and their applications in understanding foundation behavior under seismic loads.
