Bir ve üç boyutlu zemin davranış analizlerinin karşılaştırılması.

Site response analysis is based on determining how strong ground motions occurring in bedrock are affected by local soils above the bedrock. Although the local ground response is determined as a result of simplified one-dimensional linear analysis of the system, which is actually three-dimensional, it is insufficient to represent the nonlinear behavior of soil which exhibiting plastic behavior under small deformations. The equivalent linear analysis method is more commonly used among other methods (linear or non-linear) to represent the nonlinear behavior of the soil. However, two or three dimensional analyzes are required in cases where the soil environment varies in all three dimensions or does not consist of horizontal layers, and especially when soil-structure interaction will be applied. In this study, three-dimensional modeling strategies are dwelled on and the effects of nonreflective boundary element lengths, dimensions of the soil (system), finite element size and the frequency range selected for damping on the response of the three-dimensional system are investigated. One-dimensional and three-dimensional soil behavior analysis results are compared with the studies in the literature in terms of the maximum ground acceleration, maximum displacement and response spectrum. As a result of the comparisons, it is revealed that the correctly generated three-dimensional model can be applied in determining the ground behavior in cases where one-dimensional analysis cannot be used.
