Abstract
The dynamic response of a group of rigid surface
foundations bonded to an elastic half-space and
subjected to the action of horizontally propagating
Rayleigh waves is studied using the boundary
element method. The Green's function for the half-space
and quadratic quadrilateral isoparametric
elements are adopted in the numerical computations.
The effects of the frequency, the incident angle and
the distance of separation between foundations on
the dynamic behaviour of the massless or massive
foundation system are thoroughly discussed.
