In the first condition the interaction of soil adjacent to the walls of basement are ignored while in the second case this interaction have been modeled using Gap elements of nonlinear SAP2000 software. Finally, comparing the results of two models, the effects of soil-structure on period, target point displacement, internal forces, shape deformations and base shears have been studied. According to the results, this interaction has always increased the base shear of buildings, decreased the period of structure and target point displacement, and often decreased the internal forces and displacements.}, journal = {International Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {5}, number = {3}, year = {2011}, pages = {128 - 132}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/4640}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/51}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 51, 2011}, }
