Elastic settlement of ring foundations
AbstractIn this paper, numerical computations using the finite difference method are carried out in order to investigate the settlement of ring foundations resting over an elastic half space. The main goal of the present work is to introduce a closed form solution for calculating elastic settlement of ring foundations.
