Calculation of impedances for axial symmetric foundation embedded in half-space medium using solutions for one layer stratum

The paper is devoted to develop a new scheme to calculate impedance matrices for axial-symmetric foundations embedded in half-space medium. The half-space medium can be approximated by increasing thickness of one layer stratum on rigid bedrock due to the effect of material damping. However, as thick...
