Abstract
A variational procedure is used for calculating the response of two foundations with rectangular bases supported on a viscoelastic halfspace and subjected to horizontally and vertically incident SH-waves and Rayleigh waves. Results which include the response of massless foundations and those with mass indicate that the dynamic behavior of a rigid foundation to traveling wave excitation can be affected significantly by the presence of a neighboring foundation. The effect is most pronounced when the direction of the incoming wave is parallel to the axis of the two masses, in which case a noticeable reduction in the response of the downstream foundation is observed with respect to that of the upstream foundation.
