Abstract

Based on dynamic governing equations of saturated poro-elastic medium and unsaturated poro-elastic medium, steady state response of a layered subgrade subjected to vertical surface concentrated harmonic loads was investigated. By introducing displacement functions and making use of Cauchy-Reimann conditions, displacements, stresses and pore water pressures of saturated soil and unsaturated soil were solved, respectively. Combined with different boundary conditions and continuity conditions, the integral form solutions to steady-state responses of layered soil subjected to vertical surface concentrated harmonic loads were obtained through Fourier inverse transformation. When the layered subgrade was reduced to a homogeneous saturated ground or a saturated half-space with an elastic super-stratum, the results obtained here agreed well with those in literature. Using several numerical examples, effects of saturation and thickness of unsaturated super-stratum, and exhaust-drainage condition of ground surface on these dynamic responses were investigated.

Key words
