Title: SETTLEMENT OF AN EMBANKMENT RESTING ON A SEMI-INFINITE ELASTIC SOIL
Accession Number: 00235297
Record Type: Component
Abstract: THE THEORETICAL DETERMINATION OF THE SETTLEMENT OF AN EMBANKMENT IS DISCUSSED. THE GROUND IS ASSUMED TO BE A SEMI- INFINITE MASS OF ELASTIC ISOTROPIC HOMOGENEOUS SOIL WITH A PLANE UPPER BOUNDARY. THE LOAD APPLIED BY THE EMBANKMENT ON THE GROUND SURFACE IS APPROXIMATED BY A LINEARLY DISTRIBUTED PRESSURE. THE SETTLEMENT COEFFICIENTS HAVE BEEN CALCULATED FOR SEVEN POINTS OF THE CONTACT AREA BETWEEN THE EMBANKMENT AND THE SOIL MASS BY INTEGRATION OF THE BOUSSINESQ FORMULA FOR THE SETTLEMENT DUE TO A SINGLE NORMAL LOAD. THE NUMERICAL VALUES OF THESE COEFFICIENTS HAVE BEEN LISTED IN TABLES AND PLOTTED IN CHARTS ON WHICH THE PARAMETERS ARE THE GEOMETRICAL DIMENSIONS OF THE EMBANKMENTS. PRACTICAL EXAMPLES ARE GIVEN. /AUTHOR/
