Vertical vibration response of rigid strip footings on a viscoelastic soil layer overlying bedrock
the vertical vibration response of rigid strip footings on viscoelastic soil is theoretically investigated. Based on the assumptions for footing and foundation with rigid bedrock boundary condition
employing the method of Fourier transform
this mixed-boundary value problem is expressed as a pair of dual integral equations
which are transformed to a set of linear equations by means of Jacobi orthogonal polynomials and solved numerically. The solution in this study is compared with the solution of elastic half-space in the literature to verify its rationality. The results demonstrate that the attenuation of ground waves generated by the vibration of the footing
as well as the variation in dynamic compliance coefficient of the foundation
is sensitive to the thickness of the foundation soil layer. The numerical results suggest that considering the foundation soil as infinite half-space
as in existing solutions
is reasonable only in cases where the thickness of the top soil layer exceeds approximately fifty times the width of the footing.
