Vibration Screening in Layered Soil

The investigations on vibration isolation problem are usually done based on the ideal situation of homogeneous half-space with constant properties of elastic parameters over the depth, which is not realistic. In nature, however, the shear modulus of the soil usually changes with depth while the mass density and other properties of the soil can be considered approximately as constant. Dynamic properties and non-homogeneity of the soil play a significant role in transferring dynamic energy [55].
