This work comprises a survey on former work on the response of structures resting on soil and method used in the analysis of problems. Several techniques were used earlier by other researchers, some of these based on closed form or series solutions and the other problems were solved using numerical technique (finite differences or finite elements). Beam, plate or 3D solid elements were used in the finite elements to model structural members whereas spring elements were used to model the soil. Also, the finite difference was used to formulate the problems of plates or beams placed on Winkler springs. Moreover, the series solution of the differential equations using Fourier series programmed in various computer languages was used in the previous studies to analysed such problems. The numerical analysis showed to be very effective in solving problems involving structures resting on the ground.
