THE THREE-DIMENTIONAL STRESS ANALYSIS OF CYLINDRICAL ELASTIC BODY CONFINED IN MOLD CYLINDER

Abstract

The paper firstly presents analytical method of the three dimensional stress problem regarding pavement material confined in such as CBR cylinder by means of the finite Fourier-Hankel transforms. Then, applying the above for the cases of the three different boundary conditions at the inner surface of mold, the stress distributions and the surface displacements were computed. The comparision of the computed values with the test results so far carried on assures that the above method is effective to determine the mechanical properties of pavement material.
