Abstract
The transmission of vibrations over the surface of the ground, due to a moving, vertical harmonic rectangular load, is investigated theoretically. The interior of the ground is modelled as an elastic half-space. The transformed solutions are obtained using the double Fourier transform. Numerical results for the displacements on the surface are presented for loads moving with speeds up to the Rayleigh wavespeed of the ground.
