An Analysis of Plate on the Elastic Half-Space by Using the Analysis Results of the Axisymmetric Circular Plate

A plate on the elastic half-space may generally be analyzed by the finite element method. However, there are some difficulties to obtain the flexibility matrix of the foundation based on the Boussinesq's theory. In this study, an efficient numerical procedure which uses the analysis results of the vertical displacements due to the uniformly distributed loading in a circular area is presented. Some numerical examples represent better results than those of numerical integration technique or subsection method especially in the case of irregular mesh pattern.
