Nuclear reactors are used as research tools, as systems for producing radioactive isotopes, and most prominently as energy sources for nuclear power plants.
During an earthquake, the flexibility of the near-surface soil affects the dynamic response of the supported structure. This dynamic interaction is termed soil-structure interaction (SSI). Soil-structure interaction is important for... more
