Abstract

The underlying soil has a significant effect on the dynamic behaviour of structures. The paper proposes a semi-analytical approach based on a Green’s function solution in frequency–wavenumber domain. The procedure allows calculating the dynamic stiffness for points on the soil surface as well as for points inside the soil body. Different cases of soil stratification can be considered, with soil layers with different properties overlying a half-space of soil or bedrock. In this paper, the soil is coupled with piles and surface foundations. The effects of different foundation modelling configurations are analysed. It is determined how simplification of the numerical model affects the overall dynamic behaviour.
