Stress waves propagate in soil in case of earthquake and man-made efects (trafc fow, buried explosions, shield-driven pipes and
tunnels, etc.). Te wave point-sources are those located at the distances equal to more than two waves lengths, which signifcantly
simplifes solving of a problem of these waves’ strength evaluation. Distribution of stress and displacement by the stress waves
propagation in elastic medium is a complex pattern. Te stress distribution in propagating waves depends on the type and form of
source, conditions of the source contact with medium, and properties of mediums in the vicinity of the source. Te point-sources
and their combinations are selected in such a way to model an infuence of machines and processes on soil body in case of shield-
driven pipes (tunnels).
1. Introduction
In confned environment the wave pattern becomes more
difcult due to the boundary refection of waves. For eval-
uation of diferent factors infuence on the nature of waves
propagation it is convenient to divide the waves propagation
problem into several stages.
At the frst stage tasks of waves propagation in infnite
medium from the point-sources of the following diferent
types are reviewed:
(i) concentrated force,
(ii) double force without moment (two concentrated
forces acting contrariwise along one line and applied
at small distance 2 h from each other),
(iii) two double forces without moment (double couple
without moment) acting at right angles and in a single
plane,
(iv) three double forces without moment acting in three
orthogonally related directions (center of expansion),
(v) double forces with moment (couple of forces),
(vi) combination of two couples of forces with sum of
moments equal to zero,
(vii) uniform pressures in alveole at a section in length ,
(viii) tangential stresses applied at a section of alveole
contour in length ,
(ix) tangential stresses applied to alveole contour in length
.
Solution of tasks enables evaluation of types of wave
sources’ infuence on the type and parameters of waves
propagating over a distance.
At the second stage tasks of wave propagation from the
point-sources in semi-infnite elastic medium are reviewed.
At this stage tasks of vibration of semi-infnite elastic medium
surface from diferent point-sources of waves at various
depths with account of waves refected from free surface are
solved. Te solutions make it possible to evaluate a dynamic
impact on the environment in case of earthquake, as well as
the dynamic impact of diferent devices and machines used
for underground works. Tis paper deals with a task of waves
propagation from the point-sources of diferent types in the
