Abstract: In view of the infinity behaviors of 3-D Kelvin solution, we constructed an infinite spline boundary element which has fine precision in the analysis of the half space foundation subjected to uniform pressure on the circular domain. We also analysed a square plate resting on elastic half space foundation. The results indicate that this model not only fits for the coupled analysis of foundation and structures but also has the advantage of fewer degrees of freedom and fine precision.

Key words: infinite spline boundary element, structure-foundation interaction
