Presents kinematic interaction factors for the rotational response of rigid shallow foundations — with and without embedment — subjected to pure Rayleigh waves. The analyses, performed with the Thin Layer Method and validated against the Domain Reduction Method, show that a rotational response exists even for superficial foundations, and that kinematic interaction attenuates the imposed rotation more strongly for larger and more deeply embedded foundations.

18th European Conference on Earthquake Engineering (ECEE 2026)
A broader companion study by IM-SURF's WP3 leader, connecting local soil-structure interaction (SSI) with global interactions at city scale (Site-City Interaction) and the combined Site-Foundation-City Interaction that IM-SURF's structural work packages build on.
