Abstract

This paper presents original experimental research on soil-structure interaction conducted by authors. Small scale steel frame model was tested using shaking table. The model comprised two columns, a foundation beam representing strip foundations and a rigid beam connecting the top of the columns representing the superstructure mass. Model was tested as being fixed into the shaking platform and as placed on sand layer embedded into a container. Displacement time history was recorded using optical measurement system and compared for every tested case. Sand used in experimental research was local Drava sand. Experimental research is repeated for the case of dry and saturated sand. Results for all tested cases are shown and commented.
