TL;DR: A review of the state-of-the-art of analyzing the dynamic response of foundations subjected to machine-type loadings can be found in this article, where the authors present simple formulae and dimensionless graphs for both the static and dynamic parts of impedances, pertaining to surface and embedded foundations having circular, strip, rectangular or arbitrary plan shape and supported by three types of idealized soil profiles: the halfspace, the stratum-over-bedrock and the layerover-halfspace.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple elastic-plastic constitutive model for cohesionless soils is proposed, which retains the extreme versatility and accuracy of the simple multi-surface J 2 -theory in describing observed shear nonlinear hysteretic behaviour, shear stress-induced anisotropy; and reflects the strong dilatancy dependency on the effective stress ratio.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed two simplified methods with use of a liquefaction resistance factor FL and a potential index IL to evaluate the potential of saturated sandy soils, based on the proposed methods, the authors calculated the values of both FL and IL at 64 liquefified sites and 23 non-liquefied sites during past six earthquakes.

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical study of the dynamic response of end-bearing piles embedded in a number of idealized soil deposits and subjected to vertically propagating harmonic S-waves is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical method for transmitting waves out of an artificial boundary is presented, which is applicable to linear two-or three-dimensional wave problems with a time-stepping algorithm and a convex artificial boundry.
