Abstract

In the last decades, the interest towards performance-based approaches in the field of seismic design and seismic adequacy assessment has rapidly grown, spreading an increasing awareness about the effects of the interaction between foundation and superstructure in particular under severe conditions. By the way, a lack of reliable methods for the seismic analysis of foundations is still apparent. To overcome this deficiency, the macro-element concept is in this paper suggested to be employed.
Although the macro-element approach is widely accepted to be very promising, it has not been supported so far by adequate experimental evidences, at least for seismic applications and few experimental results on the non-linear soil-foundation dynamic interaction are available in literature. Thus, in this paper, the macro-element theory in its different versions (elasto-perfectly plastic, elasto-strain-hardening plastic, bounding surface plastic and hypo-plastic) is first introduced and the mechanical response of shallow foundations under monotonic/cyclic loading, as it results from experimental tests, is outlined. All the critical issues concerning the employment of macro-element theory in Direct Displacement-Based approaches are then discussed and some application examples for solving practical problems are reported.
