The seismic waves transferred to the foundation of a building cause significant damage to the structure, producing its deterioration and instability. This paper presents the results of subjecting a structure to the effects of the earthquake and the physical mechanical properties of the soil, comparing a theoretical model of an embedded support with the structural dynamics model of D.D. Barkan - O.A. Savinov. Three hypotheses are evaluated: i) The negative effects on the proposed buildings are indirectly proportional to the increase of the seismic response characteristics detected in the soils; ii) The characteristics of the soil strata are directly proportional to the increase of the seismic response characteristics of the soils; and iii) The D.D. Barkan-O.A. Savinov model presents a lower range of embedded support than the theoretical model, which simulates a foundation. Some of the most relevant conclusions indicate that the structural dynamics model of D.D. Barkan - O.A. Savinov presents a more specific range in the reactions produced before the seismic forces, and the relationship in both cases is alleged to be indirectly proportional to the indicated characteristics.
