Abstract
Key phenomena associated with the seismic interplay between soil, foundation, and structure are introduced and the available methods briefly explained. Emphasis is given to deep foundations (piles and caissons), but embedded foundations are also studied. Five special topics are selected for discussion, satisfying one or both of the following criteria : new field evidence on their significance has accumulated, or renewed practical interest has recently generated.
