A method was developed to predict the complete stress state at a point in the soil due to an imposed load from a tire on the soil surface. The method may be used to investigate the influence of stress distribution at the soil-tire interface on the stress state in the soil. The mean normal, octahedral shear, maximum principal, and vertical normal stress and their directions may be predicted. The complete stress state is predicted based on the Froelich equation and the modified Cerruti equation. |
