Solutions for Axisymmetric Problems of Layered Generalized Gibson Subgrade

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article presents the solutions for displacements and stress of layered generalized Gibson subgrade subjected to an axisymmetric surface load. We assume that the material has constant Poisson’s ratios (μ=0.5), and its shear moduli varies linearly with depth. During the solutions, the Hankel transform in a cylindrical co-ordinate system is employed. The relationship between the solution and half-space solution is also examined and discussed. At last, the analysis flow is presented .
