heal.abstract	This note presents simple algebraic expressions for estimating the elastic horizontal displacement and rotation of arbitrarily-shaped rigid foundations partially or fully embedded in a reasonably uniform and homogeneous half-space. By choosing these models, the number of independent problem parameters is kept to a minimum, while trying to quantify the role of partial embedment and basement shape. The development of the proposed expressions is based on an improved qualitative understanding of the role of embedment and of foundation shape, substantiated quantitatively by the numerical results of an extensive rigorous parametric study using a boundary-element formulation.	en
