%X To investigate the effect of soil-pile-structure interaction (SPSI effect) on the dynamic response of a base-isolated structure with buried footings on a pile foundation, certain shake table tests are previously conducted. Based on the test results and the existing related studies, an efficient simplified model and a corresponding calculation method are verified for estimating the dynamic characteristics of a base-isolated structure with buried footings on a pile foundation with the SSI effect. In this method, the solutions by Veletsos and co-workers for a non-isolated structure with the SSI effect are verified and advanced for a base-isolated structure, and the solutions by Maravas and co-workers for a non-isolated structure on a pile foundation are introduced to consider the effect of the piles. By comparison with the shake table test, this work proves that the simplified method can efficiently estimate the dynamic responses of a base-isolated structure with buried footings on a pile foundation. Using parameter analysis, this work also shows that the dynamic characteristics of a non-isolated structure are quite similar to those of the base-isolated structure when the soil foundation is sufficiently soft, which means that the isolation layer gradually loses its isolation function as the soil foundation softens.
