THE ECCENTRIC LOADING OF A RIGID CIRCULAR FOUNDATION EMBEDDED IN AN ISOTROPIC ELASTIC MEDIUM

This paper examines the problem of the eccentric loading of a rigid circular disc-shaped foundation embedded in bonded contact with an isotropic elastic medium of infinite extent. The solution of this problem is achieved by using a hankel integral transform technique which reduces the problem to two sets of dual integral equations. These systems of dual integral equations represent the equations which govern the axisymmetric and asymmetric states of deformation induced by the loaded foundation. Explicit results are derived both for the displacement and rotation of the circular foundation and for the contact stress at the interface. (a) (TRRL)
