Springs connected in series

Equivalent Stiffness
Ke = 1/ (1/K1+1/K2)
n=Ke /m

Cone model
Ehlers To represent a surface disk (mass less rigid
(1942) foundation) under translation motion

Meek and Veletsos For rotational motion

(1974)

Meek and Wolf To evaluate dynamic response of base

mat
(1992)
on surface of homogenous half space

Wolf and Deeks For use in foundation vibration

(2004)

analyses

Dynamic response
1-D SOM approach by
considering truncated semiinfinite bar with vertical axis
Why conical ?
As load applied on the disk on
surface of half space the stress
acting on the area (which
increases due to geometric
spreading ) which is similar in the
case of cone also. (spatial
variation may be there)

Modeling

Plane section remains plane (constant

axial
strain)
For modeling its simplified wave propagation
from 3-D to 1-D (simplified for velocity)
For preparing model same material as half
space such that parameter such as density,
velocity etc. remains same

Concept

Po = Dynamic load

Uo (z, t) = Axial
displacement function

N (z, t) = Normal force

By considering dynamic
equilibrium equation
derived.

Application to layered soil

Application to layered soil

At layer interface reflection and

refraction occurs
Bottom rigid base and free
surface are tracked up to certain
stage considering first cone as
half space displacement.
Resulting displacement = by
super-imposing at surface
Resulting displacement used in
displacement transfer function.
