Abstract: This article presents approximate but analytical-based solutions for computing the lateral force (force per unit length) and centroid location induced by horizontal and vertical surcharge surface loads resting on a ...

Abstract: In engineering situations, loads applied to the four corners of a rectangle might have different values and might not be uniformly or linearly distributed. A configuration of linearly or nonlinearly varying loads with ...

Abstract: Since the planes of foundations are not usually regularly shaped, and the loads are often applied on the anisotropic materials, such as transversely isotropic soils or rocks, calculating the induced displacements and ...

Abstract: Based on the theory of elasticity, the analytical solutions of the Love-wave dispersion equation are generated for the inhomogeneous orthotropic medium, for which the Young’s modulus (Ex, Ey, Ez), shear modulus (Gxy, Gyz, ...

Abstract: In this work, we present the solutions for displacements and stresses along the centerline of a uniform vertical circular load in an inhomogeneous cross-anisotropic half-space with its Young’s and shear moduli varying ...
