Circular Loads Applied to a Cross-Anisotropic Half Space
The loads considered in this report are applied over a circular plan area to the surface of a cross-anisotropic half space. The circular shape was chosen because of its direct application to wheel loads on pavements and foundation loads under structures such as silos, chimneys, and tanks containing liquids. In addition, for reasons of ease in analysis, it is convenient to consider the circular shapes as approximating to rectangular foundations of approximately equal breadth and width. The nature of the anisotropy of the elastic half space corresponds to that observed in soil and rock deposits formed under the action of predominantly vertical forces. Such deposits may be natural or placed. Hence the solutions produced are relevant to a wide range of practical situations where it would be unrealistic to assume isotropy. (Author)
