Abstract
The needs for enlargement of width of existing embankment have been increasing due to heavy traffic and large amount of transporting goods. In this study, it was intended to derive formula for estimating vertical stress induced by additional embankment. Theoretical background for handling plain strain problem was investigated. It can be seen that stress function considered in the analysis was justifiable for compatibility and boundary condition. Notes for using derived formula were also considered.
