Rapid infrastructural development has led to a scenario where massive structures are being built in seismically active regions with less favourable geotechnical conditions. This has also increased the risk of damage and failure of these structures due to earthquakes. During an earthquake, the structure’s response doesn’t solely rely on the structure itself, but also on the ground motion characteristics and conditions of the subsoil. Earthquake-induced near-field ground motions, can cause significant structural damage by exposing structures to high input energy. A better understanding and design implication of soil structure interaction (SSI) considering near-field earthquake is needed to make future construction more resilient. In this paper, a concise review of the effects of SSI considering near-field earthquake has been provided. Studies related to the basic concept, analytical and computational approaches for SSI and characteristics of near-field ground motion have been presented along with the current status of researches on the topic of interest. The paper also highlights the areas that in earlier studies did not receive much attention.
