Semi infinite soil mass

[AKP]

What does semi infinite soil mass mean?

 

[Srinivasan]

The soil mass is an elastic medium for which the modulus of elasticity "E" is constant.

the soil mass is isomorphic , means it has it's identical elastic properties in all directions through any point of it.

the soil mass is semi infinite , that is it extends infinitely in all directions below a level of surface.

 

[Srinivasan]

read as isometric instead of isomorphic
