Abstract
There exist many types of plate loading tests for structural design of pavement, and various elastic analyses for semi-infinite axi-symmetric multi-layered system have been carried out. Elastic analysis for a single layered semi-infinite system subjected to normal load along the boundary is the well-known Boussinesq's problem. Recently, elastic analyses for the multi-layered and the single layered axi-symmetric system restrained in a cylinder have been presented by the author, but the boundary conditions of these analyses were perfectly smooth along the side surface of cylinder. The objective of this paper is to present an elastic analysis for a single layered system restrained in a cylinder with a rough side surface. This method is based on Love's stress function using infinite series of Fourier-Bessel expansion and Fourier expansion. Some numerical results were obtained using a computer, and the effects of boundary condition and Poisson's ratio on the deflection of the loading surface were discussed.
