This report describes a simulation study of the dynamic response of a dike built on different types of geometrical shapes of the foundation subsoil using PLAXIS 2D Finite Element Program. Much focus is given to the comparison of Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) and ground settlement readings at the di...
