Ground borne vibrations 1: Rayleigh waves in semi-infinite soil (IM-TS-081)

A basic problem that arises in the present study of ground borne vibrations, originating from the railway tracks, is that of a stationary oscillating line or strip load on the semi-infinite soil (Figs 1 & 1.1). In general, a series of waves propagate through the soil medium, but the body...
