Abstract
The need to consider the heterogeneity and anisotropy of materials when solving various static and dynamic problems is common in engineering practice, especially when considering the properties of soil foundations. Numerous experimental results prove that the in-situ properties of soil and rock foundations differ from those of isotropic homogeneous media [25, 32, 48, 65, 88, 92, 96, 119].
