Soil flexibility has to be considered in the analysis of massive structures to avoid failure and ensure safe service. Post failure analysis of massive structures realized the importance of SSI-soil structure interaction. In the literature as many as half dozen methods are available but researches and designers are not clear about the history & development in this field. Current paper attempts to review the stat of art about soil structure interaction analysis methods. The review reveals that for simple analysis direct methods-Global procedures are physible while for non linear analysis substructure method is effective and simple to apply.
