Question
Figure (a) shows a subgrade cross section subjected to a rigid plate bearing test
with load
= 8000 Ib.
Figure (b) shows the same subgrade section in (a) but with added base course of
thickness h1. Determine the thickness of the subgrade section that could
achieve the same deflection_resulted from_the first case with apllied
load=12000Ib.
Poisson ratio =0.5
Figure (c) shows the same section in (b) but it is subjected to tire pressure that
maintain the same deflection. Find the subjected load and find the interfac
stress and interface deflection at point A.
