Soil is assumed homogeneous semi infinite, inelastic and isotropic.
2
It is applicable for both stratified as well as unstratified soil.
3
it is assumed that soil medium is elastic horizontally and rigid vertically.
4
The horizontal deformation is zero due to the downward deformation of mass for rigid material.
