The purpose of this research is to show the viability of application of Compactly Supported Radial Basis Function (CSRBF) in the process of direct approximation of the core of the domain action through boundary integration. This formulation is termed as (Boundary Elements Method with Directs Boundary Integration) MECIC, and is used in the treatment of the domain integration. By evaluating the effectiveness of CSRBF as interpolation functions, it performed several numerical tests to calculate the volume of surfaces. Also; by varying the support of CSRBFs, it performed two-dimensional approximation tests to examine the behavior of these functions. After verifying the effectiveness and accuracy of CSRBFs in the interpolation process, it developed computational programs to solve physical problems using the MECIC formulation, which is governed by Poisson s Equation. That formulation is associated with the concept of CSRBF in which the support is properly optimized. The calibration of the numerical solutions is given by the confrontation with their respective analytical solutions, easily found in the specialized literature. In this way, it is possible to estimate the relative error and the effectiveness of the MECIC formulation in association with the CSRBF concept. It is tested also with the curve fitting interpolation scheme. Owing the importance of the computational cost of that formulation, it is generated several time tables showing the processing time of those Boundary Elements Method computational programs. Therefore; aiming future applications in the seismic propagation wave area, it was finally evaluated the qualitative performance of the CSRBF in MECIC s formulation
