Abstract
This work deals with the development and presentation of a frequency domain hybrid numerical method for determining the dynamic response of surface strip-foundations under conditions of plane strain placed on an elastic soil medium and subjected to either externally applied forces or seismic disturbances. The elastic, isotropic, and homogeneous soil medium is treated with the boundary element method, while the flexible and massive foundation is treated with the finite element method. The two methods are appropriately combined through equilibrium and compatibility conditions at the soil-foundation interface. Several numerical examples are worked out to demonstrate and attest the efficiency and accuracy of the method.
