Stresses and Displacements in a Loaded Orthorhombic Half Space
In the analysis of many practical situations in soil and rock mechanics, such as long building foundations and long embankments, it is reasonable to assume that the longitudinal direct strain produced by the loading will be zero. Because of this assumption of plane strain these problems can be treated as being two-dimensional. Solutions based on elastic theory have proved to be useful in predicting immediate settlements, in consolidation analysis, and in the recently developed 'stress path' analysis (Lambe, 1967). These solutions may also be applied to the analysis of the performance of road rolling plant since the loading in this case produces approximately plane strain conditions. There is a growing appreciation that in many soil and rock mechanics situations the stress-deformation properties of the materials concerned are anisotropic. This factor was taken into account in producing the solutions contained in this report. (Author)
