Abstract: A stiffness matrix and nodal load vector of a beam element on a two‐parameter elastic foundation is developed for concentrated loads, concentrated moments, and linearly distributed forces. The formulation is based on the ...

Abstract: The fundamental solution for the stresses induced in a semi-infinite isotropic homogeneous elastic medium by a concentrated point load applied normally to its plane surface is extended to an optimally designed rectangular ...

Abstract: Analysis and mathematical solutions are presented for a torsionally loaded pile embedded in two-layered soil deposit assuming elastic behavior. Soil shear modulus is assumed to be constant in each layer or to vary linearly ...

Abstract: Solutions for the natural response of partially supported piles assuming soil to be a Winkler model are presented for the two cases when both ends are either simply supported or free. The effect of axial load is considered ...

Abstract: Different types of fiber-reinforced concrete have been advocated and used as a replacement for welded-wire reinforcement (WWR) in slabs on ground, leading at times to conflicting opinion and/or unrealistic expectation about ...
