Abstract
In this paper, an efficient numerical methodology is developed
based on both boundary element and finite element methods.
This development is capable of realistic three dimensional
analyses of soil structure interaction problems in the real time
domain and is specifically tailored to buried lifelines. In
particular, boundary elements are used in a surface-only
representation of the buried cavity problem for determining
influence functions at the cavity/pipeline interface for the case
of prescribed motions at the control point. Subsequently, these
influence functions are converted into loads and are used as
input to a finite element model of the pipeline. Following
careful validation studies, the present methodology is applied to
a real site with known seismological characteristics and the
results are gauged against empirical design formulas.
