The evaluation of complex elastic modulus of the foundation by the rectangular plate loading test

직사각형 재하판을 이용한 평판재하시험에 의한 지반의 합성탄성계수 추정에 관한 연구

This paper describes the method of evaluating the elastic modulus of soil medium by using the Retangular Plate Loading Test. The foundaton is considered to be the elastic half-space. The stiffness matrix of elastic half space is drived using Boussinesq's analytical soulution. A numerical examples are presented to verify the validity of this procedure. Also, the numerical results are compared with those of the existing study results. The procedure proposed in this theses can be applied to the design of concrete paving resting on the elastic foundation
