This document provides a literature review on the effect of soil structure interaction (SSI) on buildings. It discusses how SSI is an important consideration in seismic analysis of structures. The review summarizes several past works that have studied different aspects of SSI, including its effects on bridges, nuclear power plants, and other structures. It also describes various modeling methods that have been used to analyze and simulate SSI, including finite element modeling and probabilistic approaches. The document emphasizes that accurately accounting for SSI can improve seismic analysis and design of structures.
