Abstract: In recent years, extensive research has been performed when the foundation is placed on the crest of slope. Besides of so many researches less number of researches has been done for foundation is placed on slope considering Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) effect. Construction on slopes poses more challenges especially under seismic load due to an earthquake in addition to the forces of sliding slope itself. The failure of slope not only affects any structure but also has damaging consequences on the environment in general. Therefore, transmitting boundaries should be adequate to absorb the seismic energy at the boundaries. In this paper, effect of transmitting boundary on soil-slope-foundation interaction (SSFI) is studied. Two cases have analysed for SSFI when foundation is placed at various position on the crest and slope itself. El-Centro earthquake (1940) with three different PGA viz. 0.25g, 0.5g and 1g is applied as input motion for both the cases. It is observed that the foundation placed near the slope is more susceptible to damage. Responses of slope (acceleration and displacement) have also been observed at three different nodal points on slope. Results show that the amplification in soil mass leads to settlement of foundation. Shear stress and equivalent plastic strain distribution for SSFI is discussed for different load conditions. It is found that the slope-foundation system shows the local and global failure. Further Post earthquake peak settlement for foundation is plotted and it shows the true behavior of soil.
