Footing Response to Horizontal Vibration
Publication: Journal of Engineering Mechanics
Volume 110, Issue 4
Abstract
For the prediction of response of footings subjected to horizontal vibration, different types of contact shear distributions and displacement conditions are to be considered. Solutions using elastic half-space theory are not available for all the cases of shear distribution and displacement conditions. In this paper, solutions are obtained for the cases in which solutions are not available and the relevant coefficients are presented in tables which could be used in the appropriate equations for the prediction of dynamic response. Spring constants are evaluated and tabulated for different displacement and shear distribution conditions.
