Abstract
A settlement analysis of a cohesionless soil layer subjected to an ear thquake is presented. A theoretical solution utilizing Bessel function s and based on the so-called densification model for amplitudes has be en obtained. This permits to calculate the settlement under cyclic loa ding. The simplified formula is also presented which allows for the fa st and straightforward estimation of settlement. A numerical example i s included giving the comparison of results obtained by different meth ods.
