Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) effects can lead either to seismic actions lower than the free field ones, or to more conservative ones
Considering SSI may be essential for:assuring safety and reliability or reducing repair costs mainly for
historical monuments, public buildings and critical facilities
performing a safe design
A precise prediction of SSI during earthquakes is generally difficult due to several uncertainties affecting:
free-field motion (obtained by a site response analysis as input to SSI)
soil behaviour (of the deposit underlying the structure)
numerical code (adopted to perform SSI analysis)

A true validation of a computer program must be aimed to test the reliability of the numerical results (by comparing them to real recorded motions during earthquakes) and the capability of the adopted code to model the most important aspects of the SSI at the site.
The first and crucial step consists of choosing the test sites, which must be characterised by:
buildings equipped with several seismic recording instruments
a good knowledge of the properties of soil underlying the structure (behaviour in static and dynamic conditions, depth and thickness of layers, bedrock location, etc.)
a good knowledge of the structure and its dynamical behaviour (modal analysis)
a site seismicity congruent with program capability (i.e. linear or linear equivalent model – low-to-medium seismicity)
Moreover the test site must be representative of many other sites in the region

SASSI 2000 is a System which performs the Analysis of Soil-Structure Interaction by applying a FINITE ELEMENT METHOD based on SUBSTRUCTURE METHODS
The substructure methods divide the soil-structure system into substructures discretised by finite elements, each of them is solved separately and combined to obtain the complete solution by employing the principle of superposition (hence these methods can handle only linear or equivalent linear properties).
The solutions are obtained in the frequency domain for a certain number of frequencies (15-20) from which the intermediate solutions can be obtained by interpolation
The basic substructure methods adopted by SASSI 2000 are:
the Flexible Volume Method the Subtraction Method

The input motion (or control motion) consists of an arbitrary 3-D superposition of inclined body waves and surface waves and is expressed by a time history acceleration assigned to one of the three directions at a control point
The remaining site (far field) consists of horizontal soil layers overlying a uniform halfspacesimulated by the variable depth method and viscous dashpots.The soil behaviour is assumed to be elastic or viscoelastic and a linear equivalent model is adopted to solve the site response analysis (coupling SASSI 2000 to Proshake).

CONCLUDING REMARKS
The SSI analysis results show that:
there is a generally good agreement between numerical results and recorded data both in time and in frequency domain
SASSI 2000 seems to be reliable to perform SSI analyses on the selected building when subjected to low-to medium intensity seismic events
The analysis results could be reasonably extended to other Italian sites with similar properties (two-storey concrete buildings lying on soft soils with deep bedrock in low-to-medium seismicity area)
the presence of the structure has a slightly damping effect
SSI does not seem to have a significant role in the selected site
