Description of the problem
To verify the mathematical model of ELPLA for computing the immediate (elastic) settlement under a loaded area on Isotropic elastic-half space medium, the results of immediate settlement calculations obtained by Bowles (1977) (Table 5-4, page 157) are compared with those obtained by ELPLA.
The vertical displacement s under an area carrying a uniform pressure p on the surface of Isotropic elastic-half space medium can be expressed as............
