Abstract
This paper deals with the modelisation of wave propagation
in soil using a coupled finite and infinite elements model.
The infinite element developed takes into account only the
propagation of the Rayleigh wave. First, the model is
presented for a bidimensional problem and the results are
compared to a semi-analytical solution. Secondly, a
tridimensional model is developed and used to study the
effectiveness of an active isolation to reduce traffic induced
ground vibrations on a roadway.
