heal.abstract	The stress wave propagation in a plane-strain model made of plexiglas and representing a half space uniform soil in which a typical footing of a structure is founded was studied in this paper by applying the method of caustics. In this way the interaction between the uniform soil and the footing of a structure was studied as a flat stress pulse was propagating through the soil and impinged in the foundation of a structure. The method succeeded to accurately evaluate the moving wave front velocities at every instant, the stress intensities at the front and behind the propagating pulse as well as the principal stress trajectories in the soil as well as in the structure. These data were sufficient for the complete description of the mode of propagation of seismic loads in real structures. © 1991.	en
