A simplified strength-of-materials approach known as cone models. The text details how to calculate dynamic stiffness and seismic response for foundations that are either on the surface or embedded within layered soil environments. By utilizing one-dimensional wave propagation theory, the authors explain complex interactions such as radiation damping, wave reflection, and refraction at material boundaries. Practical implementation is supported through MATLAB procedures and recursive algorithms designed to simulate soil-structure interaction. The book concludes with real-world engineering applications, including the analysis of machine foundations, wind turbine towers, and earthquake-resistant structures.
