A soil-pile system and a soil-pile system accompanied with stack like structure (chimney) is analyzed. Linear analysis is carried out. For simulating radiation condition at infinity, Kelvin element was considered as boundary condition. Seismic excitations consisting of transient motion (El Centro earthquake time history) is used. Response (top nodes displacement) of a 2D soil-pile model system is compared with the response of 3D soil-pile model. The response (horizontal displacement) of top node of chimney without soil-pile (fixed base) is compared with chimney with soil-pile model.
