Abstract
Mindlin’s theory and Steinbrenner’s approximation are used to evaluate the static stiffness coefficients for embedded footings subjected to vertical oscillations. The footing is assumed to be embedded in an elastic layer underlain by a rigid base. The solution presented is simple and is amenable to hand calculations. It compares well with other rigorous solutions, in the analysis presented in the paper the shape of the footing can be easily taken into account. The method gives a solution which lies between the finite element solution and the rigorous closed form solutions.
