Summer School on Soil-Structure Interaction in OpenSees: strategies, applications and perspectives – SSI-OS
Assisi, Italy, 9-11 September 2024
OpenSees is an open-source, evolving numerical framework for the assessment of civil engineering structures under natural hazards. Its growing development in the field of soil-structure interaction makes it particularly suitable towards multi-disciplinary approaches. A platform capable of capturing the dominant features of soil-structure interaction in predicting structural vibration under dynamic conditions.
2024 SSI-OS was dedicated to explore soil-structure interaction modelling in OpenSees, focussing on critical implementation issues. Following an introduction to OpenSees, the programme guided participants towards the development of nonlinear dynamic analyses. New-generation approaches for assessing the dynamic performance of soil-structure systems were described and techniques to implement new features in OpenSees were discussed, relevant to both users and developers.
Compared to the 2023 edition, 2024 SSI-OS expanded the discussion of the numerical strategies for simulating the response of soil-structure systems to include the collaborative use of tools for regional analysis and AI-based assessment & design. Several example applications were provided, supported by hands-on sessions on the implementation of benchmark soil-structure cases, enabling their effective use in both research and design practice.
