Abstract

Based on Mindlin solutions for elastic half-space and the corresponding principle in viscoelastic theory, the viscoelastic solutions of semi-infinite soil subjected to vertical force are derived via the Laplace transform. By means of viscoelastic solution of vertical displacement, the settlements of the center and corner point of a flexible rectangular foundation under homogeneously distributed inner load are systematically inferred. The numerical results indicate the feasibility and practicability of the new approach.
