and it was found to provide inconsistent agreement with field measurements (52,53,54). In particular, this procedure greatly overestimates
Ao-,VCi/,at significant depths below the ground surface. The necessary
components of a reliable analysis of A(r'hjVCiP are summarized on page 11 of
the original paper.

The writers would like to thank Professor Novak for his kind words
about the usefulness of the work presented in this paper and its companion
(3), and for his addressing the important question of how to apply these
results to actual vibrating foundations in the field. The two papers are part
of a series published by the writers, where simple engineering methods are
developed for the calculation of the dynamic response of both shallow and
deep foundations, based on a combination of rigorous analytical solutions
and simplified theoretical models. This approach has proven very successful, as summarized in Ref. 17, It continues a tradition of approximate
simple methods, equations, and charts fitted to the results of more
sophisticated formulations by a number of authors: Lysmer and Richart
(18), Whitman and Richart (19), Novak and Beredugo (20), Roesset (21),
Veletsos (22,23), and others.
A well-conceived, simple procedure, with an attached explanation of its
basis and limitations, is extremely useful to practicing engineers. First of
