Systematic lumped parameter models for foundations based on polynomial fraction approximation.

Based on the approximation by polynomial fraction, a series of systematic lumped parameter models are developed in this paper for efficiently representing the dynamic behaviour of unbounded soil. Concise formulation is first employed to represent the dynamic flexibility function of foundation with a...
