Abstract: This paper presents the formulation and the application of a continuum‐based finite‐layer approach to evaluate dynamic pavement strains under moving traffic load. The dynamic material properties (complex shear modulus and ...

Abstract: The response of fluid‐saturated porous media to moving surface load is important in many fields of engineering and physics. The approach outlined in this paper represents an attempt at expanding the state‐of‐the‐art in the ...

Abstract: A semianalytical approach based on Biot's formulation for porous medium to evaluate the layered nonlinear response of a soil subjected to a moving load is presented in Part I of this paper. Part II describes the verification ...
