Abstract
The application of the Boundary Element Method to the linear three-dimensional soil-structure interaction problem is discussed. Detailed formulations for rigid, surface, massless foundations of arbitrary shape are given in both frequency and time domains. In both cases the foundations are assumed to rest on a linear elastic, homogeneous, and isotropic half-space and are subjected to either externally applied loads or obliquely incident body or surface waves. Results obtained by the above approaches as well as by other well established techniques are given in a comparison study. More general problems involving massive foundations and superstructures are also presented in the general framework of a substructure formulation.
