Towards a nonlinear discrete model for site-city interaction through a Sino-European synergy

In this contribution, we present a review of the experimental evidences and the state-of-the-art of numerical methods for site-city interaction (SCI) simulations for seismic events. We summarize the main model parameters and discuss the current findings on SCI. Finally, we describe the project idea of a nonlinear discrete model for a large scale site-city interaction, which will be developed within the upcoming collaboration between the Chair of Structural Mechanics of the Technical University of Munich and the Institute of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation of the Tsinghua University Beijing.     «
