Structure relative responses to the foundation under different canyon-structure spacing. (a) Vertical incident (). (b) Horizontal incident (). In each part, different rows correspond to different structural stiffness ε = 2 and 4; different columns correspond to different structural mass  = 1, 2, and 4. The mass ratio is . Since structural stiffness ε = 0 corresponds to the case of rigid shear wall with no relative response to the foundation, the shear wall relative response related to the case of ε = 0 is omitted.
