A 2.5D coupled FEM–SBM methodology for soil–structure ...
In this paper, a 2.5D FEM–SBM numerical method for longitudinally invariant soil–structure interaction problems is proposed. In this method, the structure is modelled using the 2.5D FEM and a 2.5D SBM approach is adopted to model the surrounding soil. Due to the previously discussed benefits of the SBM with respect to the BEM and the MFS to ...
