[content title="Description"]Structural analysis is usually carried out by a strength-of-materials approach that allows complex 3-D structures to be modelled adequately for design needs in a single dimension. However, this approach is not extensively used in geotechnical engineering, partly because 3-D media (soil, rock) are present, but more importantly because until recently the methods necessary to carry out this form of analysis did not exist. In the last ten years efforts at modelling practical problems in foundation analysis using a strength-of-materials approach have developed the concept of the conical bar or beam as a tool. Such cone models can be used to model a foundation in a dynamic soil-structure interaction analysis with a variation of the properties with depth. This book develops this new approach from scratch in a readable and accessible manner. A systematic evaluation for a wide range of actual sites demonstrates sufficient engineering accuracy. A short computer program written in MATLAB and a user-friendly executable program are provided, while practical examples ensure a clear understanding of the topic. [/content]

[content title="About the author"] Dr John P. Wolf passed away, after a short illness, on Sunday 8th December 2019, in Lausanne, Switzerland.
John completed his first engineering degree at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ), followed by a MS at MIT and a PhD at ETHZ .
He started his professional career as the leader of the software development team of STRIP STEP, a pioneering software package for structural analysis of civil structures, in the late sixties. He then became Head of the team for Structural Mechanics in Reactor Technology at Elektrowatt AG Zurich, and later Vice President. In 1987 he joined the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) as researcher and Senior Lecturer. From then on and until his retirement John pursued his research on dynamic soil-structure interaction, supervised several PhD theses, lectured at EPFL and ETHZ, and gave conferences throughout the world. Andrew Deeks (born in 1963) is an Australian academic administrator who became the ninth President of University College, Dublin (UCD), in 2014. He is the first Australian and second non-Irish person to hold the presidency after co-founder John Henry Newman.
