Description
Summary:A survey of both the continuum and the finite element approaches to the soil-structure interaction problem is made. The limitations and advantages of both methods are evaluated with an emphasis on the present state of the art. Some recommendations are made regarding the circumstances under which either approach should more appropriately be used.
