Structure-soil-structure interaction: Literature review

The concept of structure-soil-structure dynamic interaction was introduced, and the research methods were discussed. Based on several documents, a systematic summary of the history and status of the structure-soil-structure dynamic interaction research that considers adjacent structures was proposed as a reference for researchers. This study is in the initial stage, given its complexity and excessive simplification of the model for soil and structures, and should be carried forward for its significance. An attempt was made to summarize the common major computer programs in this area of study. Furthermore, the advantages, disadvantages, and applicability of such programs were discussed. The existing problems and the future research trend in this field were also examined. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
