Based on the 1–3 identical high-rise buildings with pile-raft foundation, a series of building-site two-dimensional finite element analysis models with different building spacings is established. Then, considering the nonlinear characteristics of soil and structure, the static-dynamic coupled numerical simulations are conducted to study the structure-soil-structure interaction (SSSI) under different ground motion. The results show that: 1) Adjacent high-rise buildings have the most unfavorable impact on the peak acceleration of the 1/4–1/2 he...
