Distribution of Stresses and Displacements within and under Long Elastic and Viscoelastic Embankments
The research was initiated to predict stresses and displacements within and under long (1) elastic and (2) viscoelastic embankments. In both cases, the embankment was assumed to be homogeneous, isotropic and continuous with the underlying material. The Schwarz-Christoffel transformation was used to transform both the geometric configuration and the boundary conditions for the purpose of matching the boundary of the embankment, with the stress functions. The Cauchy integral formula was applied to the transformed boundary conditions to yield the stresses and the displacements. The material of the embankment and the foundation was assumed to behave as a linear viscoelastic body, the time dependent solution for the stresses and the displacements was obtained by applying the quasi-elastic approximation, proposed by Schapery, to the associated elastic solution with creep functions in place of elastic constants. Time-dependent material properties were selected from the results of triaxial creep tests on a compacted clay soil. The numerical results of both the elastic and the viscoelastic solution were obtained by the aid of an IBM 7094 digital computer using a Fortran four source program. (Author)
