This paper has the object of investigating natural frequencies of tapered thick plate on Pasternak foundation by means of finite element method and providing kinetic design data for mat of building structures. Vibration analysis for tapered thick plate subjected to in-plane stress is presented in this paper. Finite element analysis of rectangular plate is done by use of rectangular finite element with 8-nodes. Analysis conditions of tapered thick plate are as follows each. The ratio of in-plane stress to critical load is varied with $0.2sigma_{cr}$, $0.4sigma_{cr}$, $0.6sigma_{cr}$. The Winkler parameter is 0, 10, 100, 1000, the shear foundation parameter is 0, 10 and the taper ratio is 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8.
