Abstract: 
In this paper, the steady-state response of a saturated half-space with an overlying dry layer subjected to a moving rectangular load is investigated. The governing partial differential equations are solved using the fourier transform. The solutions in time-space domain are expressed in terms of infinite Fourier type integrals, which can be evaluated only by numerical quadrature. Numerical results show that the influence of a drained or undrained interface on the response is related to the permeability of the underlying saturated soil. Moreover, the effect due to the upper dry layer is associated with the thickness of the layer.
