The structure of a building is vulnerable to ground movements and gets damaged during an earthquake. It is important to know the inherent characteristics of ground movements in order to prevent damage to structures during an earthquake. The paper analyzes the influence of types of foundations on the seismic performance of low, mid and high-rise buildings considering far-field earthquake data. Nonlinear time-history analysis was conducted on three different buildings, and the foundation design was analyzed using ETABS software. IS:1893 (2016) guidelines were used for time-history analysis of three stories, G+4, G+14 and G+24, considering limit state method. The results, with regard to story displacement, story drift, and rocking effect were discussed.
Determining the seismic response of isolated foundations, pile foundations, and pile cap foundations (Abd-Elhamed et al., 2023) is a multifaceted endeavor that encompasses the inertial interaction between the structure and its foundations, kinematic interaction between foundations and surrounding soils (Abdrabbo et al., 2016), and nonlinear behavior of soil under intense earthquake forces (Betti et al., 2015).
