Abstract

The theory of stresses and displacements for layered soil systems is extended in this paper to cover the more general case of three layers with full continuity across the interfaces between the layers. The three-layer system gives a closer approximation to the actual soil conditions encountered. Only the settlement equation at the surface of the ground is derived at this time, because it has a more direct application to the practical problems of foundation and airport engineering.
