Soil-Structure Interaction Conclusions
Concluding the chapter about soil-structure interaction (SSI), the author should like to give several recommendations to engineers. 1. At the very
Soil Triaxial Test
The soil triaxial test (Ritchie 1962; Powers 1968) can be used to measure the resistance of concrete to shear stress.
