Example 3: Immediate settlement under a loaded area on Isotropic
elastic-half space medium
Description of the problem
To verify the mathematical model of
ELPLA
for computing the immediate (elastic) settlement under a loaded area on Isotropic elastic-half space medium,
the results of immediate settlement calculations obtained by
Bowles
(1977) (Table 5-4, page 157) are compared with
those obtained by ELPLA.
The vertical displacement
s
under an area carrying a uniform pressure
p
on the surface of Isotropic elastic-half space medium can be expressed
as............
