1.6 Foundation and Soil Design Parameters

To perform the analysis and obtain the response for a vibrating foundation, certian geometrical and material properties for both the foundation and the supporting medium will be required.

In this section, the definitions of these properties will be introduced to make us ready for the uncoming sections.
