  • Abstract
An analytical solution of the elastic circular plate on multi layered soil can be obtained by using the transfer matrix solutions for displacements and stresses of multi layered soil. This solution is based on the continuity of vertical displacements and the smooth contact conditions between a multi layered soil surface and the elastic circular plate. Numerical calculation and analysis are carried out by the computer program compiled for this purpose. The numerical results show that the rigidity of the elastic circular plate greatly influences the displacement of the circular plate and the normal stresses under the center of the circular plate.
