✦ Synopsis

We study the seismic response of an idealized 2D 'city', constituted by ten non equally-spaced, non equally-sized, homogenized blocks (i.e. buildings or groups of buildings) anchored in a soft soil layer overlying a hard halfspace. Our results display strong response inside the blocks and on the ground which qualitatively match the responses observed in some earthquake-prone cities.

## Abstract Interaction of bridge structures with the adjacent embankment fills and pile foundations is generally responsible for response modification of the system to strong ground excitations, to a degree that depends on soil compliance, support conditions, and soil mass mobilized in dynamic res
