Abstract: The acceleration of consolidation rate by stone columns was mostly analyzed within the framework of a basic unit cell (i.e., a cylindrical soil body around a column). A method of converting the axisymmetric unit cell into ...

Abstract: This paper examines the use of Pasternak foundation model in the analysis of load-induced concrete pavement deflections and bending stresses, as well as thermal stresses caused by warping of slabs. Using theoretical solutions ...

Abstract: The study of applying the

Abstract: Past research has shown that the concept of

Abstract: This paper develops a solution of warping stresses in concrete pavement slabs resting on a Pasternak foundation. The solution is derived using the classical thin‐plate theory. Warping stresses in a slab of length

Abstract: Westergaard solutions for maximum bending stress and deflection are derived by assuming infinite slab width and length, and ignoring possible thick-plate behavior of slab under loading. This paper examines the effects of ...

Abstract: This paper derives an analytical solution for a three-slab system resting on a Pasternak foundation. Joint transfer between slabs is considered in the analysis. The basic equations are based on Reissner's thick-plate theory, ...

Abstract: In this paper the work on the thick‐plate equations and their solution for the problem concerning the bending of a rectangular plate with four free edges resting on the Pasternak foundation are described. The basic equations ...
