Concrete slab on elastic foundation under one axle load

Abstract

The paper is dedicated to the dynamical analysis of an isolated concrete slab on an elastic foundation to moving load effect of one axle load. The computational models of one axle load and a slab are mathematically described by the system of ordinary differential equations. The equations of motion are solved numerically in the environment of program system MATLAB. The plate response and dynamic load are monitored at a certain speed and certain initial conditions, depending on the properties of the elastic subgrade.

Experimental studies of the various soils bedding influence on the stress-strain state of a layered subsoil base of the slab foundation

“…Real soil properties, layered foundation irregularities in depth which influence on the processes in ground bases that occur under external loads, should be best reflected in the used analytical models [1][2][3][4][5]. The development of reliable computational theory of layered ground bases becomes a hot topic at the present time when necessity of the high-rise buildings construction with slab foundations [6][7][8][9][10] under adverse engineering-geological conditions in modern large cities can be observed.…”
