Abstract: This note utilizes the analog models of forced vibration to express the mass of foundation block in terms of damping ratio and thereafter obtains the expression for the minimum foundation mass required to limit vertical ...

Abstract: The elastic solution of a loaded cross-anisotropic half-space is dependent on the type of anisotropy that is governed by whether the characteristic equation has real and distinct or equal or complex roots. Most previous ...

Abstract: Nonlinear power-type failure envelopes of the form

Abstract: The Westergaard expressions for stresses and displacements in a half-space of Westergaard material are shown to be invalid because the vertical shear stress does not vanish at the plane boundary of the half-space. The same ...
