• Abstract:
  To obtain test results for use in verifying discrete-element analytical methods for slabs-on-foundation, a study of small-dimension plates and slabs was conducted, with the basic approach divided into two parts: (1) a check of the modeling and method of solution for plates on simple supports for a variety of stiffness and load conditions and (2) an investigation of the modeling of the soil-structure interaction problem of a slab-on-foundation using linear and nonlinear characteristics according to the Winkler assumption.
