Behavior of a multilayered transversely isotropic half space due to horizontal transient loadings

Soils and the related structures are deeply influenced by horizontal transient loadings, such as the wind loads and the seismic forces on tall buildings, and the wave forces on offshore structures. So the stresses and displacements caused by horizontal transient loadings are worthy of study. This paper investigates the behavior of a multilayered transversely isotropic half space due to horizontal transient loadings over a circular area by using the analytical layer-element method. Numerical examples are given to make comparisons with ABAQUS and to expound the effect of transient loading characteristic, material anisotropy and loading depth on the behavior of media.
