A COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR THE ANALYSIS OF MULTIPLE COMPLEX CIRCULAR LOADS ON LAYERED ANISOTROPIC MEDIA

Operating instructions are given for CIRCLY, a FORTRAN (IV) computer program for the analysis of circular loads applied to the surface of an isotropic or cross-anisotropic multi-layered elastic mass. Pavement design applications include the effects of vertical wheel loads, horizontal wheel loads due to traction and braking, torsional wheel loads due to cornering, and the gripping load developed by pneumatic tyres on pavements. In addition, foundation loads on footings, piers and rafts may be applied as vertical forces, horizontal forces, movements about horizontal axis or contact stresses due to foundation roughness. The manual contains worked examples. The program can be obtained in card deck or magnetic tape form.
