The Ground Surface Displacement with a Circular Inclusion Buried in a Layered Half-space Impacted by SH Wave

Abstract

To analysis the ground surface displacement with buried circular inclusion under the action of SH wave, the large-arc assumption method is used to approximate the straight boundary by a circle with large radius. A numerical example demonstrates that the ground surface displacement amplification coefficient increases with the down of incident wave number k1 and the hardness of the surface covered layer.
