In the field of soil-structure interaction (SSI), Kinematic Interaction (KI) can potentially be a source of
notable influences on structure dynamic response. Such influences take place through alternation in
foundation input motion. In this paper, first the effect of KI on input motion for the case of single rigid strip
embedded foundation with incomplete contact between sidewall and nearby soil, under vertical propagation
of shear waves is investigated. Then it is discussed that how this input-change would be reflected in response
spectrum. Results for different embedment depths and various soil-wall contact lengths of foundation are
depicted. In this research, numerical analysis was conducted by ABAQUS, finite element software. It is
shown that for high frequencies of excitation, significant intensification of input motion would be expected,
as besides horizontal input, a rotational component will be generated because of embedment depth. Also it
seems, an optimum sidewall contact length can be found through which, minimum ordinates of input motion
would excite soil-structure systems
