Abstract:
In order to improve mechanical properties and increase the load capacity of soil so many different methods are innovated and utilized. Through This variety we can mention cement and asphalt concrete pavements which are the most common methods, cement sprinkling for consolidation of inclined surfaces and utilizing geotextiles and geomembranes which are recent methods. As far as a method becomes more common in industry, analytical study on effect of these methods on soil properties drew more attention in researches.In this research a homogenous elastic half-space is reinforced by an extensible thin plate and studied under various loads. The plate is considered as a buried infinite plane with infinitesimal thickness and without flexural strength. Variety of distributed and concentrated loads are applied to the surface of the half-space or to the plate. To solve the problem, the plate is modeled as a three dimensional layer and then the thickness approaches to zero. Finally, a differential equation is presented to model the thin plate equivalent to this exact approach
