FORMULAS AND CHARTS FOR IMPEDANCES OF SURFACE AND EMBEDDED FOUNDATIONS Abstract A complete set of algebraic formulas and dimensionless charts is presented for readily computing the dynamic stiffnesses (K) and damping coefficients (C) of foundations harmonically oscillating on/in a homogeneous half‐space. All possible modes of vibration, a realistic range of Poisson's ratios, and a practically sufficient range of oscillation frequencies are considered. The foundations have a rigid basema ...
