The word “soil” is interpreted broadly to include all earth materials whose properties and behavior influence civil engineering construction. Soil engineering is founded upon many basic disciplines? mechanics and dynamics: physical geology and engineering geology: clay mineralogy and colloidal chemistry: and mechanics of granular systems and fluid mechanics. Principles from these basic disciplines are backed by ‘experimental evidence from laboratory and field investigations and from observations on actual structures. Judgment derived from experience and engineering economics are central to soil engineering. “The Books In this series are intended primarily for use in university ‘courses, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The editors also ‘expect that al ofthe books will serve as valuable reference material for practicing engineers. T. William Lambe Robert V.

The original publishers, John Wiley and Son Inc, New York, have been gracious in re-assigning copyright to the surviving author, and hence, the book is now being reprinted through the Centre for Geotechnical Research at the University of Sydney. This reprinted edition contains a significant number of corrections which were brought to the author's attention by a number of users, in particular, Dr John T Christian, Dr Peter T Brown, Professor M R Madhav, Mr J M Shen, Sir Alan Muir Wood, Dr K J Cheverton, Professor Michael J Pender, Dr | D Moore, Associate Professor J C Small and Mr M A Adler. | am very grateful to these persons for their interest in bringing the errors to my attention. | am also grateful for the encouragement of my colleagues within the Centre for Geotechnical Research at the University of Sydney to prepare the corrected edition, and to Ms Monica Martin, who undertook the typing of the corrections and Miss Kim Pham for correcting the figures. Harry G Poulos August, 1991 PREFACE ‘The authors have attenpted to asseable as comprehensive a collection as possible of graphs, tables and explicit solution of probleas in elasticity relevant to soil and rock nechanies. Many of these solutions are well known and‘widely used in geotechnical practice, and are available in standard xeferences. However, new solutions of relevance appear at frequent intervals and in diverse publications, and it is~ difficult for the practising engineer to locate, or even to kmow of the existence of, solution which may be of interest. ‘The large majority of solutions are for an isotropic hono- geneous nass, but some important solutions are also included for cross-anisotropic and non-hopogeneous elastic materials. Because of the vast literature in the theory of elasticity and the need to keep the book to a reasonable size, coverage of solutions in this book is by no means exhaustive, and solutions which nay be considered of relevance by sone people will doubt- Jess have been onitted. In a number of instances, a reference is given even though no solution is reproduced in the book. Tt has not been found practicable to maintain 2 uniform notation throughout the book; where there appeared to be valid reasons for doing so, the original author's notation has been adhered to, but particularly in the nore basic material, a comon notation has been used. However, a uniform sign con- vention has been used in that the following are considered as positive: compressive stress, reduction in length or volme, and displacement in the positive co-ordinate direction. ‘The authors have not attempted the imense task of a full check of all the solutions they have reproduced, but a more Jimited check has been carried out by testing solutions for self= consistency and consistency with other solutions and this has uncovered a mmber of errors in the original solutions which have ‘been corrected. However, it is probable that some further errors vill have escaped the-authors' notice and any information on such errors will be gratefully received by then, ‘The book is divided into essentially four parts: (2) __an introductory sumary of the basic equations and relationships in elastic theory (Chapter 1) and then basic solutions for problens involving concentrated leads on elastic nedia (Chapter 2); () __ solutions for loading of simple geonetrical areas, both unifornly loaded and rigid (Chapters 3 to 9); (©)___ solutions of a nore complicated nature having relevance to practical soil mechanics, rock mechanics and foundation problens (Chapters 10 to 15); (@__ appendices containing complete solutions for various cases of surface loading on an anisotropic or isotropic elastic half space. PREFACE As a reference for students, research workers and practising engineers, this book may be used in a umber of ways: (2) __as an immediate source of solutions for use in solving geotechnical problems; (b) __as a source of basic solutions from which nore complicated solutions may be evaluated by the user; (6)___ as a source of reference solutions against which numerical computer solutions (e.g. from the finite elenent method) may be checked. Grateful achnowledgenent is given to the great mmber of persons and institutions, too mmerous to list individually, who have given permission for their solutions to be reproduced. Special thanks are due to Dr. T. William Lanbe; Edmund K. Tumer Professor of Civil Engineering at M.I.T., for his original encouragenent of the preparation of the book; Dr. J.P. Giroud of the University of Grenobie, France, for his generous permission to reproduce many of his results, both published and unpublished; Drs. J.R, Booker and P.T, Brown of the University of Sydney for their coments and advice, and Dr. C. M, Gerrard and Mes. W.J.

The normal and shear stresses acting on an elenent are shown in Fig.11, the stresses all being of positive sign. ‘The normal stresses Gz, Jy, dz are positive when directed into the surface. The notation for the shear stress Tj; is as follows: is the shear stress acting inthe direction on a plane normal to the i axis. ‘The sign convention for shear stress is as follows: ‘The shear stress is positive when directed in a negative Cartesian direction while acting on a plane whose outward normal points in a positive direction, or, when directed in a positive Cartesian direction while acting on a plane whose outward normal points in a“hegative Cartesian direction. Equilibriua requires that wy" ye Tye = ty Te 7 Teg For the definition of stresses in other coordin- ate systems, see Section 1.3. 1.1.2 STRESS COMPONENTS ON ANY PLANE Referring to Fig.1.2, the stress components Pres Pays Pra on any plane with a directed normal » can be expressed in tems of the stresses in the 2, y and 2 coordinates as PIG.1.2, 2 FUNDAMENTAL DEPINITIONS AND RELATIONSEIPS Paz Tye Tee | | eo ua Pry | = | Tay Sy Tay | [orate Jos G0 Paz Tee Tys Sx | [e082 where cos(njz) is the cosine of the angle between the 7m and = directions, and similarly for cos(ny) and cos(n,z). y Zi Nem FIG.1.2 1,1,3 TRANSFORMATION OF AXES If anew set of orthogonal axes !, y', x! are chosen, the stress components in this coordinate system are related to the stress components in the original =, y, 2 system as follows: 8 =Asat see (1.2) where $, is the stress matrix with respect tothe xty'z! axes, Sis the stress matrix with respect tothe zy = axes, A is the direction cosine matrix, ies, A= | cos(s',2) cos(a',y) qos(s',z) cos(y',2) coa(y',y) cos(y',a) eoe(a",2) cos(a',y) cos(a',z) AT is the transpose of A. 1.1.4 PRINCIPAL STRESSES It is possible to show that there is one set of axes with respect to which all shear stresses are zero and the nornal stresses have their extreme values. The three mutually perpendicular planes where this condition exists are called the princtpal planes, and the normal stresses acting on these planes are the principal stresses. The principal stresses, 01, 62 and os (the maximum, intermediate and ninimm stresses respect- ively) may be found as the roots of the equation o oe OD 9,3-s10;2 + d20, - Js where Jy = 0_40,40,,= @(bulk stress) oie see (Leda) 2g tag 2 Ja Oye tey “ys ee see (edb) - 0.1.2 tiga?

The most important case is that of plave strain, in which the strain (see Section 1.2) in one of the coordinate directions (usually the y direction here) is zero. Another class of problems are those involving plane ‘stress conditions, in which the stress in one of the coordinate directions (usually y here) is zero. In two-dimensional stress situations, the stress relationships are considerably simplified in relation ‘to the general three-dimensional case. Referring to Fig.1.3, the stresses on a plane making an angle @ with the 2 direction are 1g = H(0,40,)44(0,-0,)ovs20+t,.sin2® ...

The circle is drawn in relation to a set of orthogonal axes, one for normal stress (c) and the other for shear stress (1). The seale of these two axes mst be equal. I£ the principal stresses 1, 6 are known, the circle can be drawn with the centre at o=4(01403) and of radius (01-03)/2. If the normal and shear stresses are known, the cirele can be drawn with the centre at o=k(oztdy) and passing through the points (0_, t,,) and (0,,-T,)» The radius of the circle thus constructed is equal to the maximm shear stress Taz (see Equation 1.14). ‘The angle 28; is twice the angle between the a coordinate axes and the axes corresponding to the directions of principal stress (the 1-3 axes in Fig.1.4). The direction of rotation of the radius fron its original constructed position to where the circle intersects the normal stress axis is in the same angular sense as the direction of rotation of the axes for the =-z axes to becone the principal 3-7 axes: The stresses in any other directions x’, 2! nay similarly be determined by drawing a diameter, through the ‘centre of the circle, at an angle 20 to the diameter describing the stress conditions on the 4 FUNDAMENTAL DEFINITIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS 2-2 axes, where 0’ is the angle between the az axes and the x!‘ axes (see Fig.2.4). It should be noted that shear stresses are con- sidered positive if they tend to produce a clockwise rotation about a point, outside the elenent, at the plane on which they act (Fig.1.5). This convention is consistent with that previously developed for ‘three-dimensional conditions. Q 1.1.9 POLE CONSTRUCTION ‘The pole construction is a useful way of Linking the stresses at a point in the physical plane (Fig. 1.60) to the Mohr circle diagram for the stresses (Fig.1.6a). The pole, P, is the point on the circle such that the normal and shear stresses on any plane & (perpendicular to the physical plane) are given by the intersection with the Mohr circle of a line ‘through P parallel with the plane a. For example the stresses on vertical and horizontal planes are as indicated in Fig.1.6a and the major principal plane is inclined at the angle 8 above the horizontal. 1.2 Analysis of Strain 1.2.1 BASIC DEFINITIONS Considering first the case of two-dimensional strain (Fig.1.7), the normal strains e and ¢, are defined as see (L158) ANALYSIS OF STRAT 5 -3 see (Le15b) where Pz, Og are the displacements in the = and 2 directions.

The shear strains in these planes are zero and the normal strains are the principal strains. The major and minor prin- cipal strains are respectively, the greatest and least normal strains at the point. For an isotropic elastic material, the principal planes of strain can be shown to coincide with the principal planes of stress. 6 FUNDAMENTAL DEFINITIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS ‘The principal strains are determiied, in a sinil- ar manner to principal stresses, as the roots of the ‘equation ef - het +ne,- t= 0 vee 2.25) were Th = 6, + 6, +6, ese (24a) Yet Tenet, +6, + 66, - ere) ate le 4 4. cea ety San?
