Abstract
Abstract The stability of high-rise buildings is fundamentally influenced by the interaction between their foundations and the underlying soil. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of soil-structure interaction (SSI) with a particular emphasis on settlement behavior, load distribution, and seismic resilience. By utilizing finite element modeling (FEM) and advanced soil mechanics principles, the research evaluates various foundation systems, including deep pile foundations, mat foundations, and hybrid configurations, to determine their effectiveness in diverse geotechnical conditions. The study explores the effects of soil properties, foundation stiffness, and dynamic forces on settlement patterns and overall structural stability. A comparative analysis assesses the efficiency of different foundation systems in mitigating differential settlement and optimizing load transfer. Additionally, the research investigates seismic influences, including soil liquefaction, on foundation performance in earthquake prone regions. Beyond computational modeling, the study highlights advancements in real-time geotechnical monitoring through sensor-based technologies and AI-driven predictive analysis. These innovations enable proactive assessment of foundation behavior and early identification of potential risks. Furthermore, sustainable foundation materials, such as geopolymer concrete and recycled aggregates are examined for their potential in enhancing structural integrity while minimizing environmental impact. The findings contribute to optimizing foundation design, enhancing stability, mitigating settlement risks, and improving resilience against seismic forces. By integrating advanced modeling, real-time monitoring, and sustainable engineering practices, this research supports the development of more efficient and eco-friendly foundation solutions for high-rise construction.
