Abstract: This paper investigates the effect of foundation rigidity on impedance functions for a circular foundation on a viscoelastic soil medium. In addition to vertical and rocking impedances, the paper also investigates the ...

Abstract: A simplified structural analysis model for mat foundations with grid floor beams as stiffeners is presented here. In the model, the Winkler type of subgrade reaction spring is assumed for the whole area under the mat ...

Abstract: A systematic procedure for generating impedance matrices for foundations resting on an elastic half‐space medium is presented. The prescribed harmonic loading due to the foundation is decomposed into an infinite Fourier ...
